Yup. Also, for a computer deciding whether that long shape across the road is fallen pole or a shadow of a standing pole is probably very difficult.
Maybe people get misled by use of autopilot in aviation, but they did not realize, that it operates in a much simpler environment, with more time for decisions than in a car (most of the time), and critical tasks are still not done automatically. Take-offs are never automatic, landings only rarely (and they require a lot of programming, and special certification for the plane, the airport, and the crew). Even traffic avoidance, a very important part of driving, in aviation is not done automatically, TCAS only gives warnings and advisories.
