General Motors’ new self-driving system will let the driver speed down the highway without looking at the road. It’s one of several features enabled by the adoption of machine intelligence in cars.
When cars go “AI”, 45% of the time you’ll end up at the wrong destination having broken several traffic laws along the way.

Does it? The article makes no claim the self-driving has any dependent on AI. Seems like GM is just hyping up their AI bloatware at the same time — though that would make me hesitate to get one of their cars.
Self-driving cars that can safely navigate traffic with pedestrians and human-driven automobiles are literally one of the marquee uses of machine learning.
They’re closer to “AI” than chatbots and image fuzzlers ever will be.
