With the current technology this is all not possible.
The basic problem are
- computerchips are not powerful enough to even
process information from a load of sensors and
keep into account difficult models doing that
- a bit is true or false. So something is inside
a pattern or outside a pattern. 'intelligent'
decisions definitely require a form of pattern
matching that doesn't exist yet
- there has not been invented yet what intelligence
is. Any description so far is formulated in again
vague statements, or by a decision tree which is
near infinite big.
So the discovery channels are far from reality yet, even
simple recognition isn't working very well yet. If i may
refer to fact that i could program way faster using speech.
However despite huge work, not a single commercial speech
program so far is worth using. It'll never keep up with
my 400 chars/minute typing speed. That primitive they
are right now.
Now recognizing speech is still a *simple* thing compared
to for example driving a car.
