GM has already announced plans to sell cars with autopilots in 2020. That's only eight years from now.
Most of the pieces are in current production - night vision, lane sensing, automatic braking, electric power steering, electric power brakes, intelligent cruise control. R&D autonomous vehicles have been driven on public roads for several years now.
Most of the work to be done is making it robust and reliable. Robust means it has to work in rain, snow, fog, real world traffic, deer, dogs, kids, ....
I wonder how they will program it to deal with tailgaters?
