Planes can actually land themselves with ILS and MLS systems. Autoland is usually used during bad weather or poor visibility.

And some cars can auto-park nowadays: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_parking

But neither planes nor cars with autopilot + autoland/park functionality are fully autonomous.

The only place where we have this today is on some on rails systems (trains like in Paris, buses on fixed rails like in Tokyo's Yurikamome or some amusement parks, etc.).

But for this they depend on a lot of (expensive) ground infrastructure, that is not available on roads.
