This quote stands out to me:

"just as a dog is much better at finding drugs than people, but you wouldn’t convict someone on a dog’s evidence. And dogs are much more intelligent than any machine learning."

Because in my head I followed it with the sentence "but we're all confident that we will have dogs driving our cars in about 5 years." Food for thought for sure.

So dogs are better than humans at detecting drugs because they have a better sense of smell than can penetrate packaging. What does that have to do with technology being better/worse than humans at driving, exactly?

They didn't say dogs were better than technology at solving problems, in any sort of general sense.
