LOL.

Current sensor technology can’t see potholes, and barely reacts to wildlife.

It’s surprising. They must be using the wrong stuff.

I will say that waaaaaaaaay back in the 80s I attended a conference sponsored by Sen. Robert Byrd (in the Byrd auditorium in Byrdville, WV) discussing military technology. One of the talks was about the attempts to introduce AI into the fighter cockpit. One initiative was to determine when the pilot was unconscious so the plane could take over and put itself into a level, slow turn until the pilot woke up.

The problem they had was distinguishing between unconscious pilots and pilots in their normal, non-combat flying state.

That sounds like a punch line, but it’s true. Fighter pilots are very relaxed when flying until the action starts.
