The thing is, for car driving you need combinatorial search combined with a good model (statistical) of the world. Research I've seen does not incorporate any kind of meaningful search.
Company that has all the roads and surroundings scanned and knows exactly where the car is at all times is at a huge advantage.
Partially observed world gets your head hurting. Not modelling other cars practically makes everything useless.
If you can't hallucinate everything around you as close as possible, the problem gets very very difficult.
I'm pretty sure there are companies close to solving the problem, as they have more data and some also know practically every road in the modern world.
Modelling and tracking other cars is a bigger issue, including pedestrians.
