When Cars Think Faster Than Humans How AI reaction times are already outperforming professional drivers-and what that means for road safety Imagine hurtling down a highway at 70 mph while scanning dozens of objects at once-cars merging, a child chasing a ball, a truck weaving slightly out of its lane. For humans, this is the split-second calculus of driving. But now picture a machine doing that same job-reacting not in fractions of a second, but in microseconds. Welcome to the era where cars don’t just drive ; they think faster than humans. Reaction Time: Human vs. Machine Human reaction time in driving is notoriously limited. On average, a typical driver takes about 1.5 seconds to perceive a hazard and begin responding to it. Under stress or when distracted, it can be even longer. At highway speeds, that translates into dozens of meters traveled before any corrective action begins. In contrast, AI systems in modern vehicles, especially those equipped with adv...
