I think OP's point is about the latency from all the layers. At 70 mph, where 100ms is 3m, this is a problem for a control system.

Human latency is about 250ms.

I think that's not a fair comparison - a digital control system needs much finer time slices to compete with human reaction time. A control system that worked off of webcam images at 4hz would be a jittery mess, or just very slow if using a Kalman filter.

I agree it's not a fair comparison. Your analogy, though, confuses latency and throughput.
