The fact that this pup is consciously controlling the acceleration rate (speeding up to catch up and slowing down to avoid a car) indicates he understands how the equipment works. Thats more cognitively impressive than kicking off a skateboard.
Dogs don't really see us as part of the pack. More like a friend of the pack who is somehow magical. Like an elvish friend who offers copious amounts of wonderous food, performs everyday magic, and guides when more wisdom is needed.
We can already. You know that it's physically impossible for a dog to speak like us right? It took a long time to evolve our language to where it is today.
Maybe in a few 100,000 years dogs could make more intricate sounds, but I doubt humans would care if we were still around by that time.
Dogs might not even develop that ability regardless.
We have to solve it ourselves with technology, if it's even possible.
If their mouths could form human words, they would absolutely be yapping at us all fucking day. They might not have a good grasp on language, but they will understand certain words and concepts.
We can now if you get one of those "press for spoken words" gadgets they make for pets.
More seriously, we communicate with dogs through looks, sounds, and behaviors. If you have a good relationship with your (intelligent breed) dog, you're mostly on the same wavelength.
That's pretty low end. Peak is more like a $100 million spread in the hills overlooking the plebes.
Actually looks like here when you're at a beach parking lot looking inland. That coastal fog you see along the mountains is full cover today, and supposed to break up a little by this afternoon.

I truly believe we will be able to communicate with them.
