Cars cannot drive themselves better than humans. And I'd say most self-driving car projects will be closed down within the decade as boon-doggles.

You do not talk to your house. Rather than using a dial which reads "off", you say "off".

"Progress" in the sense you mean isn't happening at all.

I have no pretensions about human intelligence; I do not think it is much above a dog's.

The issue is that computer "scientists" (ie., mathematicians") havent even bothered to understand a dog's -- or any animals. Or even intelligence.

The field which will produce any artificial intelligence is biology, not computer science. And very little progress is being made there; with pretty much all theoretical approaches to neuroscience, I think, wholy invalidated.

The computational approach has been a pointless detour/dead-end.
