Autonomous vehicles are clearly several steps up the difficulty ladder from bread and butter tasks such as speech recognition. The progress over the last 10 years is such that some subfields have exceeded human parity while others are only just getting started. Depending on which subfield interests you, progress may be slowing or accelerating. That's why another "AI winter" is a bogus and alarmist concept. Winter for whom?
