Photographer: Qilai Shen/BloombergThe high-tech and automotive industries are coming to terms with the likelihood that a truly driverless car – one in which it’s safe enough to snooze while traveling under any and all conditions of road and weather – lies many years in the future, that date nothing more than a guess.

Photographer: Caitlin O'Hara/BloombergWaymo, Google’s driverless car project, has done the most extensive driverless testing, some 10 million miles of real-world driving and 7 billion miles of simulations.
