The difference is that the same algorithm that drives a car can't be used to do other tasks. The self-driving car algorithm can't just be plugged in to recommend a movie or summarize an article. Many of the same underlying components can be re-used, but they have to be trained on data for the new task. AI is kind of a silly term, imo.
