I think your 20% figure might be low, but that doesn't mean that we won't see specific applications for autonomous cars earlier.

Autonomy is going to creep into autos slowly, things like: anti-lock brakes, adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance are all small pieces of an "autonomous" automobile.

A car dealer at the Ford dealership told me Ford is demoing cars that parallel park themselves.

Lexus has had automatic parallel parking for a few years now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Parking_Assist_Syst...
