Driving in the Future

The brain takes 1/4 second to process and recognize visual images from the eye.
At 100 mph you're traveling at 146 feet per second, or 37 feet per 1/4 second.
What you "see" is 1/4 second in the past.
So, at 100 mph, when you "see" your tire at the apex, you are actually 37 feet past the apex.
We are essentially driving in the future.

I like the thought of that, nice one!

Recent studies have shown we process images in 10-13 milliseconds.

Yeah this is the latest number. It was 100 milliseconds in earlier studies and in software we've known for at least 20 years that anything that takes longer than 250 milliseconds needs some kind of notification to the user that something is happening (i.e a progress bar/status update).
