The short version

Marc Andreessen predicted on August 20, 2011: “The creation of software-powered driverless cars is already under way at Google and the major car companies.” Verdict: Partially right. Waymo (née Google self-driving) now runs paid driverless rides in multiple US cities by 2024-2025, but 'major car companies' have largely retreated (Cruise shutdown).
