Why do you think autonomous vehicles will arrive sooner than electric?

I'm not very informed on the subject and it looks to me like both technologies are at about the same stage. There are already electric vehicles out there but no commercially available driverless cars yet.

All they need for electric trucks is faster charging time and/or better battery life. Or maybe removable batteries that you can switch at truck stops. Is an improvement in these technologies soon less realistic than the driverless truck technology? I have no clue so any insight on the matter would be appreciated.
