It's actually quite amazing how much the self-driving car hype is focused around Google and Tesla. This thread has been up for four hours and only has 6 comments, meanwhile the submission about Tesla has over 200 comments (!)
"Plan to" as in they will do it if nothing very strange happens. The cars are currently driving around here in Gothenburg with Volvo employees behind the wheels. The cars will however only work for some well tested roads, eg. the big transit roads around the city.
To be fair, the Tesla submission covers an recent rare event while this here is more of general information about things that will happen in the future. Just this is enough to cover for the amount of comments. There is a lot to discuss.
