Apparently the Perseverance Mars Rover has some self-driving capability:

With the help of special 3D glasses, rover drivers on Earth plan routes with specific stops, but increasingly allow the rover to "take the wheel" and choose how it gets to those stops. Perseverance's auto-navigation system, known as AutoNav, makes 3D maps of the terrain ahead, identifies hazards, and plans a route around any obstacles without additional direction from controllers back on Earth.

The mission has used AI not just for driving the rover, but also landing and targeting instruments. [2]
