Used to called a road draft tube, before closed crank case systems.
Random Thoughts or Whatever

Like the good old days, , , most of my early 1960s cars, as well as all of my 1950s ones, had no PCV system and had exactly what you describe as factory equipment (It was a metal tube about 1 and a half inch diameter as I recall)

The newer cars smog stuff has an impressive amount of engineering/science/design put in. I had to trace and fix an evap error code on my car for reg renewal couple years ago.
There were about 5 controls/sensors talking to the brain on that #@#$%.

Along this same line...picked up a newer-used VW and the manuals are something!
Manual for running the radio is 1/4" thick, with the one for the overall car pushing 1/2" thick. Exaggerating just a little...a little.
And fuses here and there!
Neighbour shared yesterday, just how much info is to be found within the computer, some of it of interest to insurance companies. Esp. if evolved in an accident.
As Arte J. used to say ("Laugh In"), "Verrrrrrry interesting!"

Modern life is not getting easier for now, may be later after the personal AI becomes available. Practical all things now are controlled by pushing buttons. I have not bothered to read up on the cell phone and the car set ups, so I have not been feeling at home with both. All instruments are button and screen controlled, which is a disadvantage for old knob twister me.

...supposedly...most "modern" devices like phones, computers, TVs and cars (household devices like washers. dryers, refrigerators) are designed with "intuitiveness" baked in...meaning...we ought to be able to stumble bumble and fumble our way through learning and discovery...it doesn't work 100% for me. Much of the things my car and or phone could do don't occur because I have not truly "needed" those functions...yeah...that's it...

So...what value/worth are we (humans) to the AI World?
I'll bet S. Hawking came up with the very same question before he crossed over to the other "side".

For many it's counterintuitive design....supposedly...most "modern" devices like phones, computers, TVs and cars (household devices like washers. dryers, refrigerators) are designed with "intuitiveness" baked in...meaning...we ought to be able to stumble bumble and fumble our way through learning and discovery...it doesn't work 100% for me.

The "machine" needs data point entries. We are the secretaries.So...what value/worth are we (humans) to the AI World?

I think watching the 4th "MATRIX" last nite movie brought this "random" to mind.
Lots of entertainment gone into this not-so-much random thinking on this subject...
Oooops! Phone just alerted me to check out a text, and the calendar app earlier wanted me to check out an up and coming event...and I've got to win the next "Heart" card game, as I've upped the other avatars in their abilities to beat me in future games.
Gotta go.

I'd like to see a Common Sense chart.
I know plenty of super smart people with zero common sense.

Yeah but common sense has no metric. It is known by it's absence. It requires common sense to know it.

Regarding metrics, the standard IQ test is highly biased in what it measures.
There is also the theory of multiple intelligences to consider. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences

I hear ya. They have to have a theory about it to work from. A theory about the whole of it. I gotta tell you, in my opinion they are handicapped by not having essential common sense so they categorize something and put metrics on it. It's like trying to quantify the soul... like, really.
