Self-Driving Car Progress-Free 2019

This article claims that there won't be any progress in autonomous vehicles in 2019. It seems the reason all the big car companies jumped into the autonomous car game was to slow its progress.

[sarcasm]What a surprise[/quote]

If this article is correct and 2019 will just be a year of milking along the status quo of driving dependency in transportation, can we expect to see any other progress in LCF in 2019?

If so, what areas of LCF do you expect to see growth/progress in in the coming year?
- ride-sharing?
- public transit (local and/or long distance)?
- infrastructure?
- electric bikes and scooters and/or other small vehicles?
- innovations in work management that facilitate more telecommuting and reduce commuting
- more local retail and delivery options?
- more people choosing transportation biking?

Or will 2019 be a year of automotive cultural perseverance and growth, with LCF further marginalized?
