Specialized things, sure. Agree. But driving has to be almost AGI: an almost entirely open and unrestrained field of endeavor.

Not really. It needs to be more flexible than other current robots, but definitely not AGI.

Really? You think full autonomous that's better than human drivers is not AGI? Perhaps time will tell if your opinion is right.

Yes, it seems pretty obvious to me.

I mean, we already have cars that can handle driving themselves in some contexts (e.g. Waymo in suburban Phoenix) but we're obviously nowhere close to AGI.

That's the thing tho. Specialization (in some contexts), versus a general field of endeavor.

Plus you got, "handle themselves", versus, better than humans drivers.

You may be underestimating how hard that is.
