How Do You Work On The Google Autonomous Vehicle Team?

Title speaks for itself.

I'm 30, have been doing IT for 12 years, and want to be on the forefront of self-driving cars (and am willing to work for free!).

I looked for job postings that would be specific to that division at Google, but didn't find anything (I searched for about an hour, perhaps not long enough).

I'm definitely NOT looking for a handout, but just recommendations about where to poke around for opportunities. I wanted to balance my desire to work on that specific project with being polite and not just rolling through LinkedIn and online articles looking for people already working on the project to get in touch with.

There was a pretty good reddit IAMA (edit: not at all) on the subject.

Umm... here-

That's about someone who drives a car with a panoramic camera on top for Google.

This post is asking about Google's driverless cars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_driverless_car).

Right you are! Thanks for correcting that.

Apply to Google in a related field i.e. engineer and in the initial interview say that you are interested in the self-driving cars division.

Unhelpful recommendation: create your own and get them to acquire you.
