If you started from first principles and made a car or, in this case, told an flailing intelligence precursor to make a car, how long would it take for it to create ABS? Seatbelts? Airbags? Reinforced fuel tanks? Firewalls? Collision avoidance? OBD ports? Handsfree kits? Side impact bars? Cupholders? Those are things created as a result of problems that Karl Benz couldn't have conceived of, let alone solve.

Experts don't just have skills, they have experience. The more esoteric the challenge, the more important that experience is. Without that experience you'll very quickly find your product fails due to long-solved problems leaving you - and your customers - in the position of being exposed dangers that a reasonable person would conclude shouldn't exist.
