Driving isn't solved though. There are very limited areas where computers can drive. Apart form that, driving is done entirely by humans.
Driving would be a task where AI could become hugely important and help to solve labor shortages (see UK right now). But it's not nearly there yet. Apart from that, I don't see anything in that list that would make a big impact on humanity. Solving Chess and Go was impressive, but it doesn't really change people's lives. And facial recognition seems to have more malicious use cases than ethical ones.
And bipedal locomotion has improved but is it really solved? Are there robots that can reliably perform the range of motion that humans can? There are some very expensive robots that can jump or run but that's only a small part of what humans can do.
From my subjective observations, there's very little automation in the physical world. It's all still done by humans. No matter if it's picking up trash, stocking supermarket shelves, driving buses and trucks or delivering the mail. Many of those (maybe except for driving) are extremely simple tasks for humans, they haven't been reliably solved by machines or are far more expensive than hiring humans.
