I'll bite, how does sending information vast distances instantly drive a car?

Quantum entanglement doesn't really send information.

What if quantum waveforming magic turns out to be prohibitely expensive energy-wise? It may be that teleportation will be used between Earth and Mars, but self-driving cars will still roam the planet surface.

earth and the rest of the inner solar system will be strip-mined for materials to build solar collectors and autonomous robots

Why would people want to build autonomous robots if they can quantum-entangle-apport anything anywhere?

But even if, replace "Mars" with "Neptune" and my point still stands. Also, autonomous cars are autonomous robots.

No, you wouldn't be able to reuse any of the technology built for cars. Didn't you hear? Careers will be ruined.
