I think it's the 'relatively near-instant' that's not happening; it's slowly happening in a few cities in limited routes; I'm sure it'll get better/wider but as long as it's an incremental thing then a lot of these problems aren't suddenly going to happen.

A person's professional life lasts for around 30 years (probably much more for the people born on some interval from the 1980's to 2010's, depending on your country).

How does that speed compare?

30 years seems kind of short. I get that in some places (France comes to mind) it is common to retire pretty early. With the associated destruction of cognitive skills, unfortunately. But in the US I'd wager most people have a professional life more along the lines of 45-50 years.

Going on 40 years here, just starting on a 10 year project. I hope I am not 10 years overripe!
