Not the endgame by far. Maybe the endgame for LLMs, and I am not even convinced.

Maths is detached from reality. An AI capable of doing math better than humans may not be able do drive a car, as driving a car requires a good understanding of the world, it has to recognize object and understand their behavior, for example, understanding that a tree won't move but a person might, but it will move slower than another car. It has to understand the physics of the car: inertia, grip, control,... It may even have to understand human psychology and make ethical choices.

Fully autonomous robots would be the endgame.

Noo, but my excuse for being unable to drive a car is precisely that I am a quirky mathematician focused on research!
