Regarding lag time, let’s compare and contrast older vs newer technology.
Go back to the 1990’s and use a computer mouse. The cursor responds in realtime.
Now compare to modern technology, that same mouse cursor has like a 10 to 20 millisecond or so lag. Hell, even the keyboard and game controllers these days have lag.
So, you got way faster chips these days, but also a way overcomplicated stack of software causing the lag.
Old technology used to be instantaneous and respond to the operator/user in realtime.
These days the computer is bogged down by tracking everything you do, logging every single thing, communicating with servers to see if you were tugging your dude rope when the accident happened, etc…
TL;DR - Believe it or not, simpler older technology would respond faster, because it was just you and the vehicle directly operating together, not having to communicate with some mass computer server farm to figure out what to do.
Lag. It’s a thing. Ask any gamer how that fucks their games up. Driving a vehicle isn’t a game though, but apparently these days it’s still prone to lag, because there’s just a ridiculous amount of unnecessary technology ticking behind the scenes.
