The most rudimentary life forms are little factories that build themselves. I think we should concentrate on making cars that build themselves and maybe then our technology will be sophisticated enough to consider looking into giving our cars human-like optical processing faculties.

Otherwise we'll just have to figure out how to build autonomous vehicles with the technology we have, which is pretty crappy in comparison to biology in a lot of ways still.

When a tree falls over a river, it creates a rudimentary bridge, as has happened for longer than humans have existed. Yet, while we can create huge suspension bridges from steel, we can't create wood.

This is getting into grey goo territory.
