A dog's environment isn't roads. And no car has been design for a dog to drive.

Were such a car to exist, it is clear the dog would win in very very many environments (almost all). As would a mouse, let alone a dog.

That it may be possible to rig a human environment to be replete with so many symbols (road signs, etc.) that an incredibly dumb automated system can follow them is hardly here-nor-there.

Personally, I dont even think that will be possible. Self-driving cars may work on highways and motorways; I don't see there being any in cities. Not for centuries.

(Absent pretty big engineering projects to make cities so overly sign'd that a non-intelligent automated system could navigate them. Consider, eg., existing automated trains & train networks.)
