Because the average first time driver is primed with approximately 15 years of training data from observation of not just driving deriving a complex physics model, object detection and identification system, spacial reasoning, natural language comprehensions, theory of mind able to predict behavior of other drivers based on subtle cues, and teen drivers are still awful at it as a rule with much higher accident rate.

Trying to build a neural net or set of neural nets that can do all of those jobs is a daunting task and no one has the time to train the artificial neural network for 15 years. that's why we don't have safe self driving cares yet.

as for the horse, well 50 millions of years of evolution on constantly refined genetic algorithm is hard to beat and that was on top of the evolution of the eohippus as a starting point
