True.  I've seen footage of the little computers driving around "cars."  I
was asking about the Turing Test because, well, I haven't had as much
exposure to it as I have the object recognition side.

Oh, and I would argue that the Turing Test is much more difficult.  After
all, what is harder and more complex (besides God) than being human -- a
mixture of networks, connections, and synapses that somehow add up to more
whole than their individual components.
