“difficult challenges” != worst case scenario. This video shows what they have today in the real world. What I saw was better than any other self-driving demonstration.

Nice detective work.. This is getting closer to finding out the acceleration curve. We have the power curve. I don’t think this translate directly to acceleration. The power goes through different gears which is essentially a multiplier between the engine and the wheel. If the power was perfectly linear, adding in…

This is probably fairly close, but it assumes acceleration is constant. I don’t know what the acceleration curve is, but we can safely assume the acceleration is higher closer to t0. This means he would cross the bridge quicker, but hit 400 km/h further along the bridge (probably still before the 1 mile mark)
