This does go a long way to explaining speeder bikes -- the human rider controls the gross movement, but the bike itself does obstacle avoidance. Otherwise, there's no way a regular stormtrooper could fly those through the thick forests of Endor.
The video is too stylized for me. I would love for a more steady camera showcasing the drone avoiding obstacles as it flies around. The jump-cuts and music detract from the cool tech I want to learn about.
Do enjoy what appears to be VR piloting at 1.28 however. First great useage of it I have seen.

In video games, there are a lot of clever tricks they use to make the player more likely to hit enemies. E.g. the cursor slows down when you get close to an enemy, and bullets bend towards them. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL1_ht1EdAU I wonder if tricks like these would work on real life vehicles.

console games are video games too
Isn't console games and video games equivalent expressions? As opposed to computer games? (that is: I agree with you)

I think the distinction was between console games and PC games, which don't have auto-aim because the player is unlikely to be using a controller.
Auto-aim is only well-known because it's visually obvious when it occurs - the gun did not point in the direction of the camera.

I just don't understand asking a human to run the camera drone. Presumably there's more than one of these, have one follow and rely on the pace drone for positioning. It was pretty hard to watch, but really watching sensing and localization applied in a 3D space is extremely cool.
