I was pointing at the performance of people and not computers: They failed to solve a relatively simple task computers aren't particularly suited to. Hence, why would they succeed at a much more complicated task computers aren't particularly suited to, either?

Driving is obviously also vastly simpler than approximating PI with an accuracy of 107,3741,824 digits. But that's a task computers are suited to.

As the German saying goes: „Nicht alles, was hinkt, ist ein Vergleich.“

Uh, no. the algorithms commonly used to derive Pi are *vastly* simpler than the multitude of parallel processes and tasks that factor into the activity "driving. Not to mention driving imposes hard real-time constraints, whereas calculating Pi does not.
