Here’s a look at Tesla’s Model S P90D, which is not available in the market yet.

Will we be seeing these on our roads soon?

Google on the other hand, has been experimenting with driverless car for the longest time, and in an earlier report this week, U.S. vehicle safety regulators have announced that the artificial intelligence system piloting a self-driving Google car could be considered the driver under federal law, a major step toward ultimately winning approval for autonomous vehicles on the roads.

Driverless Cars Are Coming To Singapore, But Not As Soon As You Think
