Not really. The state of the art will get you a self driving car, just not a very safe one. Think more 1995 CMU Navlab and less anything that would ever be approved or marketed to the public. Self-driving car technology is 20 years old. Self-driving car technology I would be willing to trust my life to is... well -2 to -5 years old at best.

Well, you can get a "not very safe" self-driving car by tying a brick to the gas pedal. It'll sure "drive" itself (in a mostly straight line).

Sure. But that's not the kind of thing a IoT hacker would consider a success. Someone might be content, however, with making a mod for Tesla that can e.g. follow "complex" paths of bright orange cones in a parking lot. Test it there, without being in the car themselves and put it on GitHub for bragging rights of having made a cool AI+Systems project. The problem is then someone might see that "cool hack", think it is more than it really is, and kill themselves turning it on while on the highway...
That "someone" would have to be a world leading AI research team, to "hack" something that would be a few decades ahead of the current state of the art. But alright.
