I highly recommend this interview with Yann LeCun which describes his view on self-driving cars and AGI.
Basically, he thinks that self-driving cars are possible with today’s AI but would require immense amounts of engineering (e.g. hard-wired behavior for corner cases) because today’s AI (e.g. CNNs) tends to be brittle and lacks an understanding of the world.
My understanding is that Yann thinks we basically need AGI to solve autonomous driving in a reliable and satisfying way because the car would need to understand the world like a human to drive reliably.
