Big call, personally I think it will take longer than that. All the alternatives so far proposd have issues of one kind or another and are not ready for mainstream, and I don't think 20 years will fix that. Rather I think engines will keep getting more efficient and alternative fuels will gain ground - but still combustion engine type fuels. Electric - needs batteries which are problematic and these cars enviromental impact from the manufacturing process is much higher than current vehicles Hydrogen fuel cells - promising technology but hydrogen is dangerous and difficult to store, plus these have been around for ages and show no signs of becoming common so far. Others - all still too new and experimental to really know what's going to happen Add to that the need to totally overhaul the worlds electricity supply if cars go electric and the fact that many countries burn fossil fuls to produce it meaning there is no real advantage for now.
