Maybe it actually was a decade away in 2012, maybe it'll be a decade away in 2032. Who knows? But if it's technologically feasible it'll happen at some point.

Maybe I've fallen behind but I didn't really notice it that way, to me the 2020's have so far just been more incremental progress. In any event I was thinking mainly about the effect on the average citizen's daily life.

Technology will continue to advance gradually. Some more progress with self-driving cars. Some self-driving taxis will roll out and Israel is experimenting with autonomous buses starting that year. Otherwise it'll be mainly incremental progress. Some more progress in biotech and medicine, as there is every year. Aging research keeps growing, with more progress made and more publicity gained, as well as continuing clinical trials for treatments meant to slow aging.
Aside from that, AI will continue to advance and continue to be adopted across different industries. Robotics will also continue advance, due to worker shortages corporations will keep furiously investing in robots.
All of this will be gradual, no Earth-shattering change will happen, just gradual tiny steps. A discovery in the lab that leads to a new cancer treatment a few years down the line. Another percentage of manual labor jobs just disappear due to robots taking them over. Artificial intelligence improves somewhat and creeps a bit more into the workplace. Maybe a bit of fanfare over self-driving vehicles out on the street a bit more but that's just baby steps. The end of 2023 is going to be pretty similar to the end of 2022. But the change will be gradually creeping up on us.

Yes but the older you are, the higher chance of getting a chronic illness or medical condition. Your general risk of disease as a fit active elderly person who does everything right to keep in good health is still much higher than a fat and lazy younger person. Aging itself doesn't kill you, your increasingly poor health eventually failing does.
