The question however, how you define intelligence so that to make
such a self-driving car more intelligent that a bacterium?

If the question is how to measure intelligence, I do not have an
answer. However, assuming you do have a satisfactory answer, I would
be surprised if a bacterium has a measure much above zero, whereas I
would expect something like Google's self-driving car would measure
significantly more highly, though still much less than a typical human
being.
However, without such a measure, a statement that life is mostly
unintelligent is ill-defined.
In general, if we assume inexorable physicals laws, for example the
M-theory from Grad Design, then it is unclear to me what the meaning of
the next statement could be:
"The behavior of this conglomerate of particles and fields is more
intelligent than of that conglomerate of particle and fields."
