I guess where both you and the GP are correct is that you can't make an autonomous car by applying transformers exclusively.
LLMs are "language I/O interfaces", and as such there isn't a lot of value they can create alone (even most of the currently proposed uses are bullshit). But it's quite likely that they'll be there on a lot of advanced technology helping it do what you meant.
Still even though both will be there in the transformative technology, and even though the technology may not even be useful without them, they are not central pieces on most of it.
