Two reasons - machine intelligence is still a long way from being capable of human-level reasoning. Most of what we have now (that works well) is very simple-minded, brute-force approaches to reasoning (i.e. expert systems). Second reason - we don't NEED human-level reasoning to make good progress in self-driving. As an example, a huge first step in this process happened long ago, and has hardly any innate intelligence at all - the automatic transmission.Why not allow these machines and algorithms to learn the best courses of actions
