Google talks self-driving vehicle development

As automakers add advanced driver-assist systems to conventional passenger vehicles, they are developing one path to the fully autonomous vehicle-but not the only one. So, the inevitable question: When will fully self-driving cars arrive and what will they be like?

Google, with years of experience in this area, has predicted as early as 2020. Work underway was described by the project's CEO, John Krafcik, who spoke at the recent J.D. Power/NADA/NY Auto Show forum.
