Instantaneous response times doesn't stop the laws of physics. It still takes longer to stop the faster you are going.

- mikeash 10y agoOf course, but with instantaneous reaction times you can achieve the same stopping distance at higher speeds. If it takes one second for a driver to start braking when something happens (which is about the average) then a human driver going 65MPH will have the same stopping distance as an autonomous car going 78MPH.
