Regarding models of the world: isn't it conceivable that a computer could have a smaller, specialized, model of the world specific to its task?
A car could have a model of reality whose scope is only encompassed by the context of roads and driving. It is conceivable to me that a car could have an in-depth model of the "driving-world" that would allow it to make multi-sensory, tiered observations and predictions akin to human cognition.
