This Week in Startups - Video show

Summary: Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced a plan for a car with autopilot, capable driving itself 90% of the time. Google has led the way, driving fully autonomous cars over 300,000 miles and lobbying to get them street legal in California, Nevada and Florida (for testing). Jason reviews driver-assistance technology already in place and and in the pipeline. Predictions: in the next couple of decades, very few people will own cars, and those that do will share them. Driverless Uber vehicles will shuttle people around cities. If you own a car, it will drop you at your destination then go park itself. Meet George Jetson.
