Does it have goals beyond a simple turn by turn? Can it make complex choices depending on a large number of different things it senses? (presumably weighting different criteria) For instance, is it aware that it is "bad" (i.e. something it should try to avoid) to crash into other cars or pedestrians? Is it aware of other cars on the road? Is it aware that it is also a car, but is different from the other cars in that it is in control of itself? I'm not saying it is conscious, btw, I'm more likely to simply say that consciousness is a poorly defined term, unless you are simply using it to describe a "non-sleeping" state where input from the environment is actively being taken in and processed in a meaningful way. And for that, yeah, a self driving car can be conscious.
