Easiestquickest method for very simple interfaces 4022

I don't think so. Having to step on padels to "accelerate" and another to "decelerate" the car isn't intuitive. What's "accelerate" or "give oil", BTW?

A REALLY intuitive interface for driving a car: I move my legs (like pedaling a bike) and it moves. I stop my legs and it stops. I pedal faster and it accelerates. I pedal backwards and it moves backwards.

Neither is the conventional steering wheel intuitive. A joystick may be better. But why doesn't the car follow my head and eyes, and automatically steer towards whichever direction I'm looking at?

That you think a car's control is intuitive, is simply due to your familiarity with it. You've essentially *internalized* it. If you have come to this level of familiarity with Emacs and bash, you'll find them the most "intuitive" interfaces, too.

No. That's now what we ALWAYS think. We do have the capability to think visual, and some people do it more often than others. But that's now the only choice, and some people don't like this choice. If your thinking is limited to visual only, you can't handle abstract concepts that cannot be visualized easily. You wouldn't be able to handle 4-dimension vector spaces. Neither would you be able to do music!

Why care about that optimization? One strength of scripting languages is that they let you solve a problem fast (but dirtily). If you want elegant designs, use a more appropriate language.

Sci-fi authors have been imagining those things about AI "technology" for decades. But now, I still see no major breakthrough in AI that would convince me to believe that what you described above would happen in the next 50 years. Yes, hardware capabilities have increased a million times in the past 30 years, but without a breakthrough approach, I can't see any real hope in AI.

(The situation is similar to battery-powered cars. No breakthroughs in battery technology in the past decades. We still can't make extremely small batteries that are light and of high capacity. So, not much improvements on battery-powered cars throughout the past decades, and hence still no *practical* products on the market. Rather, people are now switching the focus to cars powered by fuel-cells instead of battery cells. That approach is more promising.)

Autocorrupt fails to autocorrect "Autocorrect" to "Autocorrupt". :D
