In years and they won't be cheap
It depends on what you consider cheap. A self driving Tesla Model 3 will cost 43k with 210 miles of range when they ship and the self driving feature is complete. 35k for the car, 8k for the software add ons.
My current car (Not a Tesla, made a mistake), almost self drives (level 2 automation). It completely self drives in traffic jams, self drives most of the time on highways. On highways you have to touch a button every 30-60 seconds to let it know you're paying attention (which defeats the purpose of getting your time back).
Tesla is supposed to hit level 3 in the next update. Level 3 means for some driving modes (like the interstate, the car, not the human, monitors the environment). Level 4 would let someone do most of their commute without monitoring the road. Level 5 wouldn't require a licensed driver in the car at all.
