The kind that could land an atomic-powered vehicle on Mars, eight light-minutes from human contact? In 2012?
It's utterly ridiculous to expect humans to do this job for much longer. It's what computers are for.
- justinspace 2y agoGosh, you'd think someone would've thought of this already.
- CamperBob2 2y agoThat's not an answer (and neither are downvotes). Why are humans still doing tedious work that would be utterly trivial for computers?
- thowawatp302 2y agoOh you mean the kind that has no conflicting traffic in 0.5 to 2.5 AU?
- CamperBob2 2y agoReally? There were 3 aircraft involved. Game AI in the 1980s was good enough to handle the amount of "conflicting traffic" involved here. You're arguing in favor of automation, not against it. For that matter, next time you visit the Bay Area, drop by the CHM in Mountain View and take a look at what SAGE could already do in the 1960s.
