COMPUTERS like those that power self-driving cars, can an be tricked into mistaking random scribbles for trains, fences and even school buses.

The findings suggest modern computers may not be as different from humans as we think, and demonstrate how advances in artificial intelligence continue to narrow the gap between the visual abilities of people and machines. The research appears today in the journal Nature Communications.
