Now that AI means LLM specifically I guess you are right, but if you'd told me 20 years ago that we'd have cars driving themselves around major cities by now, I'd have been pretty impressed.

I heard about the self-flying helicopter at CMU and robots playing soccer, but really finishing the science and engineering to have computers mundanely outperforming humans at safe city driving is remarkable. Except of course to current industry observers & wall street analysts, who are asking "will this ML mumbo jumbo ever amount to anything practical? Or is lane keeping with human vigilance and alarm-setting the pinnacle?"

Do we have this?

Waymo cars drive through San Francisco constantly, and without major issues.

Aren't they kind of "cheating" since they require the whole town to be mapped ahead of time?

I would say even with mapping still impressive.

Bunch of stuff in maths/sciense I solved with lookup tables and it doesn’t take away that rest of solution is still complex.
