Wow, you're really calling a course of study that usually takes 3-4 years to complete a "party trick" because it's replaceable by technology? By that reasoning, isn't any job any of us have on this forum also replaceable by sufficient technology?
Anyway, back on topic, "the knowledge" also covers alternative routes for road closures. I've usually been pretty impressed by black cabs. They know obscure little streets on the opposite side of town. Rarely have to give instructions. Compared to NYC where cabbies ask me how to get somewhere.

Some other party tricks include reciting hours of lyric poetry from memory, adding large numbers in your head quickly, etc. You're talking like the world is fair or something. There's not necessarily an equivalence between effort expended and value created.
