- zarzavat 3y agoNot really because each point is only adjacent to a small neighborhood of other points, so if you want to test every possibility then your search space only grows by a constant factor proportional to the maximum degree of the graph. As for implementation complexity, you would hope they would use formal verification for something like this.
- codeulike 3y agoBut its how the waypoint codes work in practice - they are contextual. If Air Traffic Control tell a plane to head for waypoint RESIA, they mean the one nearby, not the one 4000 km away.
- moritzwarhier 3y agoHave to admit, I read the article in full detail only after commenting and I see your point. Especially since the implenting company is called out explicitly for failing to achieve this, and the risks of changing the well-established identifiers are also illustrated. Perfect might be the enemy of the good then, or the standardization thing at least is a separate topic.
