I think the figure of added costs is sensationalist at best. The Velodyne LiDAR sensor alone that Google uses is $85,000. I think we'll see self-driving cars soon enough, but I'd be surprised if the Old Guard of car manufacturers will lead the way there.

The first car CD player (Philips DC-085, for the curious) cost $800 in 1987, or ~$1600 today dollars. Who knows how much money they spent on the prototypes. These things will become affordable if the demand is there.
