Why does it need to empathise with something that doesn't have feelings in the first place? It clearly can learn from context. And experience? Again I don't see why it needs to feel anything.
I have feelings, it needs to be able to empathise with me, or another driver, or a client...
2. What does intelligence have to do with feelings? It clearly doesn't learn like a human. Nor does it have to. Our world is filled with intelligence which behaves nothing like humans. Its a tool not another life form.
