Google is one of the industry leaders in driverless car technology.  They have over 700,000 miles on their test vehicles.  As stated in Wikipedia:

In 2012 Google founder Sergey Brin stated that Google Self-Driving car will be available for the general public in 2017.  In 2014 this schedule has been confirmed by project director Chris Urmson indicating a possible release from 2017 to 2020. While Google seems to have no plans to become a car manufacturer, the company hopes to develop a business which would market the system and the data behind it to automobile manufacturers. An attorney for the California Department of Motor Vehicles raised concerns that “The technology is ahead of the law in many areas,” citing state laws that “all presume to have a human being operating the vehicle”. According to The New York Times, policy makers and regulators have argued that new laws will be required if driverless vehicles are to become a reality because “the technology is now advancing so quickly that it is in danger of outstripping existing law, some of which dates back to the era of horse-drawn carriages”.
