So autonomus cars using such "brainz" would probably become distracted, fail to notice things, maybe prefer to spend time communicating with other "brainz"...

*Flaws of course being a subjective matter, It's just that they're fundamentally different, so computers do easily what is difficult for brains, and brains easily do tasks that take immense computing power.
