  That is the issue, but that means that to say that we'll never have self-driving cars is to say that we're either at or close to the limit on advancement of computing technology. That seems implausible to me, and if you don't accept it as a premise, then it's just a question of how long it is before computers surpass people at all of those things.

Well, we are approaching physical limits of minimum transistor size, so that might not be as ridiculous as you think. What if the best we can do is to triple the current processing power, but that's not enough?
