Google's Driverless car program has been in the works for a few years now. The company has been working with lawmakers to allow testing of autonomous cars on public roads. Google has approval for the project in two states, California and Nevada.
Google has a test fleet of at least ten vehicles that can drive themselves. As of August 2012, the team completed more than 300,000 autonomous-driving miles.
There is no word on when this technology will be commercially available.
