Personally, I don't think so. If anything we might need less machine learning. It's mostly a problem of sensor fusion. Once your self driving car has a good view and solid understanding of the surrounding environment, the actual driving algorithm is reasonable simple. All you really need is really solid software engineering to implement it with minimal bugs. The problem is getting that understanding. You can't have objects pop in and out of existence. You can't have computer vision misclassifying objects or just not seeing them. It might just require better sensors, or more types of sensors. Or we might need to work on interpreting the data and understanding the actual situation. Most likely it's a combination of both.
