(ABCNEWS.GO) — No driver, no brakes, no problem?

Google's fully autonomous self-driving car could be sharing the road with human drivers in California within the next couple of years, according to a post on the company's blog.
However, California's Department of Motor Vehicles must first write the rules of the road for driverless cars.
"Because of what is potentially out there soon, we need to make sure that the regulations are in place that would keep the public safe but would not impede progress," Bernard Soriano, a spokesman for the DMV, told the Associated Press.
