A Roomba doesn’t weigh 2 tons and isn’t traveling at 100kph and actively threatening the lives of nearby people.
A moving vehicle is a safety hazard to everything around it first and foremost, and the driving system must be able to account for that. Figuring out how to get from point A to point B comes after, and is very simple by comparison.
There’s a reason why I originally said, “when self driving cars are actually a thing.” I know that our current level of technology is insufficient, but the technology we have now is not too far away.
The self-driving part?
AI isn’t required for that. A Roomba isn’t using AI to do it’s thing.
Depends how you define AI.

But none of that necessitates the use of AI.
No, you’re right of course - it necessitates a human driver. True awareness and decision making are not possible with our current level of technology.
