This week, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that will eventually allow self-driving cars to operate on the state's roads, according to a report by The Associated Press. The development of autonomous cars, along with the law, are being driven by Web search giant Google, which has driven its fleet of experimental vehicles more than 300,000 miles in testing. The technology could eventually allow elderly, disabled and even intoxicated people to get from place to place safely in their vehicles, Google says.
