What is limiting the roll-out of Autonomous cars? Why not see them on sale tomorrow?

Two recent blurbs about how the obstacles are more legislative than technological or economic:

Government looks to reform UK Highway Code for autonomous vehicles

Nissan may introduce self-driving car by 2018
http://www.steelguru.com/internation...sn/341175.html

I hope that Mr. Willets from the first blurb is correct in that California's laws will now require someone to be in the driver's seat. Or anyone in it at all, for that matter - that is a key point of an autonomous utopia.
However, to my knowledge, no such law is even being contemplated at present.
