Unfortunately, I think we'll need regulation for much of that.
As-is, super-fast charging hardly matters because you only really save money by charging at home where super-fast doesn't matter - for people who can't do most of their charging at home, the incentives for EVs (or disincentives for gas) mostly aren't strong enough for faster charging to tip the scales.
I don't know about the pricing situation - the average new car in North America costs $50k, so I don't know if the incentives are lined up right to sell entry level cars that are much better than today's entry-level cars.
For touch screens, we probably need safety regulation - it just doesn't seem like people care about everything being moved to touch screens enough to vote with their wallets.
The autonomous driving to me is a big unknown, timeline-wise. It's certainly the most obvious candidate for a real difference in car functionality.
