Self driving is robotics. Simple as that.

Quite simple robotics actually. Especially if you use Lidar. Basically IF (object present) THEN (do not go there) style of simplicity. Of course in reality there are lots of cases to consider, but each one of these cases is not rocket science.

Building a robot that can cook or fold a t-shirt, for example, is much harder.
