Any system that assists or replaces driving is a system that converts a bit of human intelligence into machine driving intelligence. I mean, we can have a discussion about semantics and heuristics but that is what I meant with that statement. The interesting challenge to me is how we do this. Is that what you're alluding to? There is an interesting debate going on about whether automated systems should assist or replace human drivers. I recently read an interesting article that proposed a human-machine interaction with the 'horseman analogy', where your car has rules and can take some basic actions on its own (like a horse), and you as the horseman have the final say and decide on the general course.
