Yes. There are several concerns who have announced that they will and I think one of them will do it. Probably on a pretty limited basis, but on regular public roads in normal settings with the general public present but likely often not noticing. They need to do it and there's nothing really standing in the way.
I do think it's likely going to be a long way from that point to AVs revolutionizing transportation, but it does appear they're ready for the early step of running a fully autonomous vehicle on public roads without a driver/monitor in the vehicle.
