It was only used as an example of something you CANNOT do with such high latency. It was not implying some company out there is actually using a high latency se

  It seemed to be implying someone might want to, if they had lower latency. And the issue is how can you guarantee sufficiently low latency 100% of the time? You need a fallback, and if you have a fallback, why do you need such low latency?

  It's a pretty bad example of that, though. There are enormous problems involved in the idea of remote piloting a car, but a 150ms feedback loop is no big deal. It's slightly better than a human. Especially if you look at the latency of one-server-per-continent, which is still extremely far from "edge": you get something like 50ms or better. That's easily good enough to control anything a human could control by hand.

    Pretty sure there are systems where one would struggle to regulate with 20Hz loop that humans can do. At least with easy methods like linearized PID. For example an inverted pendulum
