@bradpwyble @Smerity @alok_damle @GaryMarcus @OpenAI I think even @skydiohq seems to use a brute-forces system to predict trajectory calculations of people behind trees. It's impressive as heck what they are doing, but there's got to be a better way of modeling the world than what modern systems are doing.
