I doubt we'd call locomotion and reaction to sensory feedback intelligent. Even single cell organisms are well and truly capable of that.

What self-driving cars do is closer to something an animal like a deer does, not something a bacterium does. And you'd generally say a deer uses some intelligence while moving.
Deer? Ey, you've just jumped several orders of magnitude of multicellular complexity. Earthworm intelligence at best.
So can single cell organisms drive cars? Because otherwise I don't see your point.
To answer your question. No. Single cells organisms can't drive cars. A multicellular organism can.

We are talking about self driving AI as a system - inputs and outputs and it's relative complexity. I mapped that system complexity to single cell motility.
