That is a very optimistic opinion, but I'm sure those GM cars truly are about as close to the fully autonomous vehicle that could fully replace a regular human driven car in its regular setting as ChatGPT is to AGI.

They already operate on the road without a driver behind the wheel at all, haven't they already "replace[d] a regular human driven car in its regular setting"?

I don't think so. This particular Cruise is a robo-taxi (source), not a fully-autonomous (level 5, or at least 4) personal vehicle. And other projects claiming level 4 seem to be more of a public transit thing.
