At startup size its considered unsolved. At multinational megacorp level its considered a solved problem, often enough your boss and some coworkers aren't even on the same continent. One interesting social effect of self driving cars is I only see my bosses boss about every three months because he lives and works several hundred miles away, and I have coworkers I've never met in person. (note, not a remote job, just a typical "dozens of billions of dollars" non-tech mega corporation). Self driving cars mean I'd probably be stuck sitting in a car while working for an entire day to meet people face to face. For people who still believe in mystical laying on of hands, self driving cars would likely explode the amount of it that goes on, as I've found it weirdly true that famous projects are international, but its fractally similar in that you're also more likely to have a boss thats 30 miles away, or a bosses boss 800 miles away, not the proverbial instantaneous jump from the entire company in one skyscraper to fully distributed. Yes, a self driving car would be useless if my boss was in China, but things haven't spread out geographically that fast.
