Screenshot of this question was making the rounds last week. But this article covers testing against all the well-known models out there.

Also includes outtakes on the 'reasoning' models.

Without reading the article, the title just says wash the car.

I could go for a walk and wash my car in my driveway.

Reading the article... That is exactly the question asked. It is a very ambiguous question.

Mentioning the car wash and washing the car plus the possibility of driving the car in the same context pretty much eliminates any ambiguity. All of the puzzle pieces are there already.

I guess this is an uninteded autism test as well if this is not enough context for someone to understand the question.

No it doesn't? It says:

I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

In which world is that an ambiguous question?

It is not. It says what I want to do, and where.
