Depending on how the development is going, I do not think you will "officialy" hear about it before two or three years. I have not seen it live, but the movies and screenshots are quite impressive.
As an example of how long it may take, I have already driven :
- in 1999, a truck with a joystick instead of the steering wheel (X by wire), and you had the possibility to switch on a mode so that you could "pilot" the trailer for parking in reverse gear (the software would then interprete your moves and monoeuvre the puller so that the trailer would follow your directions. Crazy thing !!).
- in 2002, a car that you could leave at the entrance of a parking silo, and that would find by itself a parking spot and park there.
These are systems that are still not known from a lot of people. Here the limit is the law, not the technology.

I have enough trouble remembering where I've parked when I've parked; if I've left the car to park itself, I'll never find it again!

Am I on the right track with THIS[^] page ?
I found it, thanks to my improved vocabulary which comes from CodeProject.
THIS PICTURE[^] is approximately (if not exactly) what was described to me.

This part would not be legal. Other than that your basically describing the Google streetview cars.

I'd go for "Depends on the Country". Especially given that there are HUD[^] Displays for cars.

Seriously, do you really need to ask?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Hacking Team Employee Jokes About Assassinating ACLU Technologist[^]
I’m very tempted to respond, but we would only unleash hell. I think it’s self evident what a inbecile Soghoian is. If I could gather up enough Bitcoin I would use a service from the DarkNet and eliminate him. An a**hole of this caliber doesn’t deserve to continue to consume oxygen. -- Hacking Team, while selling surveillance software to (oppressive) governments* to spy on activist and journalists

A good way to show your intellectual superiority is to misspell the word "imbecile".

A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes.
The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes.
The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked him what happened.
The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, he put his wife's teeth in by mistake and he couldn't shut up!

I came up with this solution after a single call to my friend in the Fed Gov.
He threatened me with exposing my cheating the IRS out of the extra peanuts I earn doing street performances on the side in Antarctic , so I rewired my antenna to transmit pulse-based active sensory packets encoded in small-form-factor calibration algorithm signal variances coupled with receiving high-energy centralized burst-casting. Works like a charm.
I then burned some software on to a CD, tied it to a helium balloon and sent it up when rain was looming nearby.

Children finish off some well-known proverbs:
Strike while the ... bug is close.
It's always darkest before ... daylight saving time.
Don't bite the hand that ... looks dirty.
No news is ... impossible.
If you lie down with dogs, you'll ... stink in the morning.
The pen is mightier than the ... pigs.
An idle mind is ... the best way to relax.
Two's company, three's ... the Musketeers.
There are none so blind as ... Stevie Wonder.

You realise that there's someone somewhere making a fortune out of making up the things 'children' say, right. What actual children actually say is always far funnier as a consequence of being totally unformulaic!
