Google says 2019.
I believe them.
I think the manufacturers will have self driving cars figured out (technically) long before the legal system figures out how to deal with them. Those deep pockets building those cars aren't going to want to be involved in litigation every time a self driving car is in an accident but how is it the occupants fault if the car gets in an accident? Thomas J Henry is gonna get filthy stinking rich suing Google. If I have a BAC of 2.0 and get in my self driving car to go home is it a DWI? There are tons of legal issues that will have to be resolved before self driving cars for the public become a reality.

I enjoy driving... I don't want a self driving car.
I believe they will have self driving down technically by 2019. Seriously doubt that all 50 states will have all the legal issues settled by 2019.
Me too. It will be like a great video game passing all those speed limit driving cars. Lets face it...google isn't gonna program them to drive limit + 10.
There's no way. They'll pad enough pockets to make sure they're covered. But this is different from having the technical side down pat. I don't know how they can get around the vehicle swerving one object to possibly run into a crowd of people further down. Or what if it's got to choose between hitting a white or black person. It'll be a cluster . Not to mention all the idiot drivers that might try to swerve and force the Google car to up.
While, I am not surprised that dimwit OP is surprised this discussion is about 5 years old at this point.
SURPRISE!
Go yourself.
Still not settled after 5 years too, asshole.
Yeah...pump faking google cars will be a new sport.
Your legal and ethical questions are about 5 years old in Congress. They are in the information gathering stage. Nice job keeping up.
I imagine there will eventually be automated car lanes and the like. You guys aren't particularly imaginative.
I posted it because it is a topic of interest, not that I just thought about it.
and you say CONGRESS is dealing with it? Information gathering?
Last I checked driving regulations were left to the States.
Not to mention the damn motorcycles zooming between cars. They only way this will work is to mandate that everyone have a Goolge car and they're all networked. Along with every pedistrian carrying an Android device. Or maybe just Google chip everyone.
What you imagine is what you imagine. Dedicated lanes (taken from existing lanes) are a LONG way off and in most cases there isn't room or budgets for additional lanes.
If you cannot figure out how transport wouldn't require federal regulation as well then you are about as dumb as I think you are.I posted it because it is a topic of interest, not that I just thought about it.

States first started passing legislation back in 2013. They started polling in 2011. It's all but fait accompli.
for reals!
Funny you think I'm so dumb. I probably paid more in taxes this year than your net worth, mamas boy.
You still couldn't figure it out.
Fuzzy sounds like the prof from the worthless "Psychology for Engineers" class I had to take in College. He swore by the year 2000 Texans would all use mass transit and not own cars.
I just said that the news about self driving cars and the legal and ethical questions involved is 5 years old.
You're dumb and extrapolating that from what I said which is not surprising but you're just wrong. I'm well aware of the political cir stance in Texas just as I was aware of self driving cars for real 5 years ago.
I hate driving... once they work out the kinks, I'm probably getting one, tbh...
If you had a cool car you would like it. When you have a Corolla it sucks. I have a cool car, and I love driving.
Yeah, driving blows, even in San Antonio where the traffic is pretty light.
I imagine 'cool cars' will eventually be able to do both.
Yes, I assume all self-driving cars would have a manual mode.
