Here is a good summary from ars about the state of Teslas self driving plans [1]. I'm with Leawood that autonomous driving will take a lot longer than we think (pretty much like fusion). And if eventually cars can drive on their own, they will be as smart as we are and we have to give them the right to vote indecision

Correction. I did not say it would take a long time at all. What I said was it would be code and computing power solving the problem not new cameras or radar. Those would just be minor inputs. 

We are just a couple years away software wise. Computing power is always a bit behind.
