No, the main reason geofencing exists on modern autonomous cars is to assure connectivity. A ton of work is offloaded. Not immediate driving decisions, but classification problems and similar are offloaded. Object detection is local, route decisions and object classification is offloaded. Further, there's fairly limited cache of "landmarks", the route significantly relies on things like street signs and other roadside identifiable objects to identify it's position; without a database of those it doesn't know it's current road position very well. Lane markings turn out to be too ambiguous for these AI cars to use. It has a bunch of those cached, but street signs go stale very quickly, and two-way communication is used to keep these dbs up to date. |

Which means that they're not autonomous. Autonomous means being able to operate on its own.
