Hello Future Engineer,
It seems that what can be imagined is easily realizable in span of a decade. When I was a graduate student (about 7-8 years ago), I remember reading an article about self-steering cars in a magazine. The article was about innovations possible in near future.
During my previous employment at the University of Delaware, I had known about a research program in computer science/electrical engrg dept about robotic cars that would self-steer/navigate thru hilly terrain. In about two years, Google has taken that research (not just from U of D, but many others who were also funded by DARPA) and taken it a step further.
You can read more about the Google's support of this venture here.
