Flights of fancy - why airborne automobiles will never take off
- naveensundar 17y agoMy wild hypothesis is that as you go from 2D to 3D navigation, the cognitive load increases to a level which is much more than a normal human can handle. (Similar to 2D matching being polynomial time and 3D matching being NP-Complete). It will be interesting to see some vision research which shows that human navigation (vision) uses some kind of matching (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching).
- vaksel 17y agoI doubt flying cars would be allowed to have human control, if they get made, it'd all be done on automatic.
