Reported at IEEE Spectrum is the news that Holland has just allowed self driving cars onto the roads [ieee.org], 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 [www.rdw.nl].
