It's not just about the compiled code, which shouldn't be impossible to reverse engineer, although very difficult. It is more about the data, which will be the uncopyable advantage.

Most cars being released come with a variety of sensors, a number that feels to be ever increasing. Data doesn't need to come from AI.

We aren't talking about AI or how the data is collected.
The point is that this data would have been collected by the first-movers the entire time they are on the road. Such data would not be made available to newcomers.
If a new self driving car company would join the scene, they would need to gather all this data again themselves, somehow. This is the "uncopyable advantage" mentioned by OP.
