From the article's comments:
"Imagine a Tesla that was powered by a Google self-driving system."
That will NEVER happen. Ever.
Other car companies -- Mercedes, Audi -- are already ahead of Google on what matters; external packaging, car integration, and vehicle dynamics.
Just because Google can strap a 3-foot-tall spinning LIDAR to the top of an Lexus RX doesn't mean they have any sort of product ready to be put into any production car.

It's a science fair experiment.
