After several years of hype about autonomous vehicles – cars that can truly independently drive themselves – the big question has become: when will people other than beta testers get in them?

And the answer, according to General Motors' chief technology officer Jon Lauckner is, incredibly, next year: 2019. That's when the monster automaker will put out its fourth-generation autonomous vehicle, images of which Lauckner will be sharing this afternoon at the Intel Capital conference in Palm Desert, California. It won't have a steering wheel, nor pedals, nor any instrument panels.
