Totally driverless cars could be on California roads by June 2018

That doesn't mean you'll be able to buy a completely driverless car next year, or even hitch a ride in one. The technology is still being developed. The driverless cars that may begin appearing will mostly be test vehicles. The news came Wednesday, when the state Department of Motor Vehicles proposed a new set of streamlined regulations along with a 15-day public comment period. The regulations are expected to be set by the end of the year and approved by the DMV early next year.
