> In fact, I wish it was even more boring, like real driving

A realistic driving simulator from Omaha to Cheyenne would be pretty boring, I'll give you that.

What I can’t believe is that people will fly commercial routes from NY to Australia in real time in MS flight simulator…and that other people set up ATC, and pass the jets from ATC to ATC.

Well, if you are going to lower standards to let them in…you have to follow through.

This is what ‘equity’ in education looks like.

Everyone is supposed to be fairly evaluated against the same metric.

If you want to fix ‘injustice’, you need to start in kindergarten, not the 13th grade.

It’s hard to be sympathetic when this situation was so obvious and preventable. This is what short term greed and irresponsible governance looks like.

Can you provide a scenario where to avoid an accident the best choice is to add speed, which would have the effect of worsening the accident if you are wrong?

Limiting acceleration isn't a great solution, but your idea that accelerating cripples avoidance makes even less sense.

Rapid slowing is also acceleration. The vector can be negative

Cars should be limited to .5g forward acceleration, and .5g/s change of acceleration, and you should need the full stroke of the accelerator to get those figures. In other words, all throttle maps stuck in “eco” mode forever. No more twitchy aggressive throttles. Then we won’t have so many drivers murdering school kids in crosswalks because oopsie I tapped the wrong pedal.

You can’t limit acceleration. That would cripple accident avoidance

I would think it’s also against the spirit of the bill of rights, yet here we are in America, with secret courts reviewing secret surveillance and meta data.

That's okay, they probably didn't have time to remove the curse(s) protecting them.
