    Except my point was actually that ANY automated system WILL occasionally produce an error, or focus on the wrong thing in this case. And that was a specific response to your specific comment, not a critique of any attempt at automating parts of a system that will be an extension of my body. In my experience, it’s better for my parts to favor reliablity over perfection in design anyway.

      That is… just not true.

      I mean, any automated system can spit out an error, but it erroring out once in a million times can be trivial if it’s refreshing the tracking multiple times per second. There are plenty of automated systems that work reliably. Or reliably enough that having a button you push to manually adjust the thing is itself way slower than waiting for the device to sort itself out.

      Either way we don’t know until they have a prototype people can test. It could go either way. But to be clear, it could go EITHER way. It could very well just be more reliable than a manual override. That’s definitely a possibility.
