So without that, you are left programming all foreseeable situations, which still leaves the unforeseen ones.
Having centralized systems that cars rely on is a non-starter, because they could go down, or be jammed etc. They can be used to supplement information, which will be really useful, but the car still needs to be able to reason out all situations. It may not have to do that optimally for everything, but we will expect them to do it safely.

Nobody would be doing that. That's not what people do. If each situation had to be programmed for, it would be an impossible task to have autonomous vehicles, but systems with such vast amount of input data as autonomous vehicles depend upon neural nets to learn what works and how to act in novel circumstances without having each scenario planned for.
