Yes, Boston, and when can I order my driverless car to pick me up?



A few months ago if you ignore the safety driver [0].

If cars with safety drivers don't count, nearly a year ago if you move to Pheonix and get lucky [1]. They're apparently planning to launch in more cities "soon" (though I can't find a list or date) [2] and they've recently got permission to start charging passengers and intend to by the end of they year [3].

So I think "decades" is an exaggeration.
