We already showed you !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! using predictions from research companies and futurists. Since that article was published in July, automakers have been announcing when they anticipate to release their driverless vehicles. This was mostly done to ride the viral wave after Google's driverless car video was released. So, which company is going to be first to deliver an autonomous model to showrooms?

We've grouped companies into four categories:

Expected to launch a driverless car by 2020

Expected to launch a driverless car after 2020

Developing a driverless car, but no official launch date

No expected launch of a driverless car

Companies in the first category have announced they will have a driverless car by 2020. To be considered "driverless," the car must drive itself with no assistance from a person. As it stands, nearly all automakers have some sort of driverless technology in their vehicles, like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. These features aid a driver, it doesn't make a car totally autonomous.

Our infographic also didn't account for the fact that it is probably !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Even Elon Musk has said the technology for driverless cars will be here by 2020, but legislation around driverless cars probably won't be passed until 2022 or 2023. So if you can't drive, hopefully you live !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! or have decent mass transit.

Very small British car company. They currently have one car in production, the M600.

So GM is going to debut before and after 2020? That's impressive.

Oh sh%& that Noble. We'll look into it but my guess is that they fall into the "no expected launch" category.

I'll accept that answer. I think you should start including them in these charts just to fuck with people.

Well some GM brands will debut by 2020, some won't.

Fine by me. Innovation is a wonderful thing. The cool factor of Google might play into some big sales.

Google is cool, sure. But don't you think it will be a while before people will want a car without a steering wheel?

I wouldn't underestimate my millennial generation it is a very attractive proposition for someone who wants to text all day or surf the web.

It will be a sad day when we see the first BMW without a steering wheel.

I am okay with driverless cars. Sometimes you just need the car to get you somewhere. If they also include a steering wheel, I'll accept it.

You could really fuck with people, "And it seems Packard isn't gonna do driverless cars either."

Good, because by 2020 I'll be like 100 or something (I am not good at math), so I will need an autonomous car so I can get around after the popo takes my license.
