Reported at IEEE Spectrum is the news that Holland has just allowed self driving cars onto the roads, although only approved cars as part of test programs:
As the government's announcement makes plain, only manufacturers, universities and other recognized research outfits will be allowed to play, and then only if they've already tested their vehicles under controlled conditions. There's a lot of paperwork to fill out, and as the announcement notes, "Please expect an average 3-to-6-month-turn-around time from sending in your application to executing the test."
The government announcement is available here.

Many researchers work in secret, and have done so for thousands of years.
Jeepers! You mean they figured out how to removing the aging gene several millenia ago?

Sometimes is just happens by accident, like being bitten by a radioactive echidna that has been dosed with carbon nanotubes. But in any case, when you have been doing research for a couple thousand years, it is best to kind of keep quite about it. On the other hand, researching for a couple of thousand years makes you really appreciate how profound human ignorance is, how slow the uncovering of truth can be, and how bogus most claims of breakthroughs are.
