It wouldn't need to if we developed self washing cars.

How will a self driving car navigate the moves into a car wash?

All well and good but about the car wash question?
Such as... if the internal AI of your car decides it's not going to pay the ridiculously high price of an automatic car wash, so it refuses the prompt signal for opening a side panel allowing a mechanical arm to extend and deposit the correct amount of cash and change into a money drop pan, and your car attempts to drive away, this could trigger gates being closed and bright red flashing lights and sirens immediately followed by uniformed droids surrounding your car and demanding payment... or else!

I think they would balk at that until auto drives became majority. Of course there could be a development of portable car wash robots owned by the people owning the cars, that would end the car wash business.

Originally posted by @sonhouseNo, it would require the car to know what to do when in a car wash. Self-driving cars already have sensors to detect obstacles.

This is the silliest thread I've ever seen on the science forum but amusing just the same

That's a good idea. If each owner had two or three of these car washing robots (wearing short shorts and halter tops) there would be no need to send your car to an independently owned car washing business.

Apparently my oven is. (Although you wouldn't credit it looking inside)

there are several traffic-related contexts which need to be defined and programmed, with appropriate interfaces, some of which may require human input in real time. Car wash facilities are one. Getting in and out of paid-for parking garages, boarding and debarking ferries, yielding right of way to emergency vehicles, etc. spring to mind as well. Avoiding hitting things is clearly just the beginning.
