I suspect the non-spikey part is the more interesting comparison

Why is it so easy for me to open the car door, get in, close the door, buckle up. You can do this in the dark and without looking.

There are an infinite number of little things like this you think zero about, take near zero energy, yet which are extremely hard for Ai

Because this part of your brain has been optimized for hundreds of millions of years. It's been around a long ass time and takes an amazingly low amount of energy to do these things.

On the other hand the 'thinking' part of your brain, that is your higher intelligence is very new to evolution. It's expensive to run. It's problematic when giving birth. It's really slow with things like numbers, heck a tiny calculator and whip your butt in adding.

There's a term for this, but I can't think of it at the moment.

You are asking a robotics question, not an AI question. Robotics is more and less than AI. Boston Dynamics robots are getting quite near your benchmark.
