Pipe dream. Even if a driverless car was to exist.. it has to contend with millions of other vehicles all being driven by human beings. George Hotz has a killer talk about why the general approach to autonomous vehicles is flawed. I highly recommend it. ▶ this video

You might want to have a look into the public output of George Hotz. Obviously he is a little biased towards his own efforts, but he is very open about limitations and the actual reality of the self driving business. ▶ this video Note: He regularly runs a Twitch livestream coding stuff in the space, recordings are on YouTube, very high signal low noise stuff there.
