I can think of a ton of everyday problems that will require actual AI: Following detour signs. Understanding a cop's hand signals. Understanding crossing guards in school zones. Making room for emergency vehicles on crowded streets. Driving on dirt and gravel. Navigating parking garages (ever notice that signage in garages isn't standardized? Probably not, because you're not a robot).

Most of the self-driving crash videos I've seen involve a car that lost it when it couldn't follow the white line. Following the white is not good enough.
