Sadly "Full Self Driving" is a long way off as it has been proven to be a NP-hard problem. We'll automate away intellectual labor long before driving will be automated away.

It is a P vs. NP problem? That's fascinating. Can you turn me on to that? Any info? I'd love to know more.

you are driving through a residential neighborhood at the speed limit and you see a ball bounding across the road in front of you, the ball bounces to the other side out of the path of the car, what do you do?

A self driving car would go on as if nothing happened because it would determine that a collision is not going to happen. An aware person would slow down and look for a child chasing the ball.
