Navigation is not the biggest challenge with self driving.

Obstacle avoidance in an intelligent manner is the bigger problem to solve.

If you want people to trust your self driving solution, it has to be able to account for other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, wildlife, trains, fog, blowing snow, potholes, and a myriad of other things that can't be predicted in advance nor be plotted on a map.
