Not at all.
As far as your robot is programmed to do only the right thing and not to think with his own free will which of course is lacking there is no way that this state of doing things will ever lead to progress in his own conscious which of course is lacking.
In other words as i already said it will be all in vain as far as individual progress.
As far as material-scientific development it will be a success but here we are not talking about this.
Here we are talking about minds with free will and free will is sentient unlike your robot that lack this important factor so a robot without free will can not be sentient as you claim.
Now the fact that this robot will be able to drive the car mean absolutely nothing. It is like a body carried by artificial means.
The progress will only be in the physical sphere, not certainly in the consciousness one which is not present.
Would you really care what happen to your body when you are not connected to it anymore?
Except of course that the brain has developed through evolution to produce he thing that you say requires a programmer.
It does not.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
