My initial reaction was to make a joke about this, but the math is on point.
At the speed of light latency to/from the satellite (3.5ms) and a vehicle speed of 60mph, that's about 4 inches of vehicle travel. Sounds pretty great-- probably better than almost any human driver.
At terrestrial latency (30-60ms), thats a few feet, maybe nearing 10. You're still in the margin for human reaction times.
Doubling that to account for compute latency and such is actually still in the noise for car brakes available today.
Cool how far things have come.
