Smart or intelligent technologies are more than just cars with dozens of microchips- they are a whole new family of existing and emerging artifacts, objects, innovations and inventions that exhibit some form of intelligence along a divergent spectrum. This could range from the simple ability to sense and respond to a set of predetermined external environmental conditions, right up to exhibiting complex awareness, cognition, self-reproduction and self-healing, if injured.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="punctuation-wrap: simple"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="punctuation-wrap: simple"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
