> but one could make a pretty easy argument that the LLMs we have today can't drive a car only because they aren't physically able to control the car.

Of course they can. We already have computer controlled car systems, the reason LLMs aren't used to drive them is because AI systems that specialize in text are a poor choice for driving - specialized driving models will always outperform them for a variety of technical reasons.

We have compute controlled automobiles, not LLM controlled automobiles.

That was my whole point. Maybe in theory an LLM could learn to drive a car, but they can't today because they don't physically have access to cars they could try to drive just like a person who can't learn to use a tool because they're physically limited from using it.

It doesn't make sense to connect a LLM to a car, that could never work because they are trained offline using curated data sets.
