I still remember the days when the SciFi of the day sold robotic drivers as "they don't get tired, they don't make mistakes, they are relentless in their pursuit".

Instead of that, we got robots that are apparently unable to avoid crashing into large vehicles with flashing lights. Sometimes.

As usual, the future never ceases to disappoint me.

"they don't get tired, they don't make mistakes, they are relentless in their pursuit".

I believe you're thinking of terminators, not automated drivers:

Though the "will not stop, ever...", even for an emergency vehicle, might be relevant.

Ah yes the 1960s. Where politics and economics were also utopian and dishonest. When your average American job could impossibly support a family of 4. 16 year olds drove dodge chargers and the economy was so strong from all of the various nefarious engineering that you could buy products that were made to last 50 years.

Stories from back then are pretty unrealistic, but that’s true for fiction in general. Dunno why we should point at that in particular.

Well if you're basing your expectations of reality on SciFi books than I expect you will be dissapointed quite often.

There's always dystopian scifi as well.

Yes! - This has not failed to disappoint, rather it has exceeded all expectations!

Maybe we just haven't reached that future yet.
