That's not a slalom, that's a few slow, mild turns strung together. At speed, one runs into another and there are some complex transitions. In some cases you have multiple, overlapping transitions. Getting their control system to handle one thing at a time is not much of a challenge, and I'm disappointed it's taken them this long to get only this far. Complexity goes up exponentially when you start trying to do more than one thing at once. I doubt even NASA could achieve a proper result at a commercially reasonable cost. I predict at best they will release a vehicle that is serviceable only if you drive like a grandma. When things get sticky and you rely on it to get you out, it will come up very short. That's going to get them talked about. I fear there will be LITigation jokes. My advice is to hold onto your money. Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
