scannon Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 When I was in college my next door neighbor had a Goshawk. He trained me to feed and fly her so I could care for her when he was traveling. She was an amazing bird to work with. Even with a very short flight she could turn me about 45 degrees when she landed on my fist. He had a license to hunt with her and we had pheasant any time of the year we wanted. She never missed. She was trained to bring down the prey but not eat it. She only ate beef heart.

Automoda Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Watching that bird fly through the forest, your realize it has extremely good hard-wired software for that exact purpose. So have you wondered what would be possible with a car if it had artificial intelligence which had control over it's 'body'. The ability to adjust the wheels caster, camber, stance, etc as if it were muscle. With feedback sensors all over it so it could feel the road and feel the air and could practice and learn. A car like that could beat any driver without trying. With all the gizmos people put on cars these days I wonder how long it'll be before we see the first attempt at this.
