Elon wasn't calling for a hard halt like this article. He's talking about the dangers of general AI (AGI). I don't think most people would consider a self-driving car a likely path to accidental superintelligence; it's a highly-targeted application like a chess engine.
OpenAI's GPT-X engines OTOH, IMO, have a lot more potential danger because it's very unclear what they'll be used for.

Three days ago there was a paper posted here in HN on using the GPT-like transformer architecture for reinforcement learning problems (of which self driving cars is a partial subset of). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27721037 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27721037
