Tesla almost has self-driving cars but SpaceX can't self-drive this? There is no snow, rain, children chasing balls.
Very good illustration how "full inertial physics" works (in contrast to what can be seen in sci-fi movies). This is a huge potential procrastination catalyst :-)

Nailed it first time!! I was super excited too, cos it was so obvious that this so-called “simulation” was in reality a test to find pilots to save the ISS from some top secret calamity that we don’t know about. Surely this was going to be like in “the last Starfighter”, except that Elon Musk would be the one knocking on my door, needing a new pilot. Sadly it just said “congratulations” :(

Who do you think docks their uncrewed dragon capsule? They definitely have automated docking. This is for emergency manual override.
