I'm sure they'll be on the road soon enough -- there's already bits and pieces of the tech in new cars.
There have been several car companies, the military and a few research labs that have been engineering autonimous cars, including the BMW seen on Top Gear. The system google has implemented is farther advanced however, allowing for variables outside of a track. A team of Stafford grads ran a self driving Audi TTS up Pikes Peak back in '10.

It's gonna trickle down eventually. Audi and other high end companies are already bringing out cars that can partially control the car with advanced cruise control systems. Audi has the "traffic jam assist" coming soon....Nissan meanwhile, will soon have acceleration suppression technology, womp womp.
