Answer 1

Self-driving ground vehicles are difficult enough to create. Great example: Tesla has overpromised their FSD product and is nowhere ready for full release despite telling us it’s on the horizon.

Take a look at the US Dept of Defense’s DARPA Grand Challenge, where they got a bunch of competitors to design self-driving vehicles in hopes of eventually creating what you are proposing. Some pretty amazing competitors there.
