Yeah ... I can drive across the country and land in a particular parking spot with 100% repeatability.

  Sure, but your motor-sensor feedback loop doesn't have a multi-minute delay built into it, so I'd say slightly less of a challenge.

    As a counter-point to the counter-point, if we could reliably predict the actions of other cars years into the future (as we can with solar system objects), multi-minute delays wouldn't matter much.

      The orbits perhaps but not the rotation (which can be improved in flight) nor surface conditions or surrounding "atmosphere", all being critical for landing. This is why chasing an asteroid or a comet is much easier than actually landing.
