> defending eventually consistent steering is comical

That's how things work though. Momentum and material strain mean that nothing reacts instantly, and that changes with your speed, steering angle, and rate of change in speed and steering angle. So yes, all drivers must account for the where and by what speed the wheel angle reaches the desired position.

I'd honestly class that as reductio ad absurdum, quantum mechanics dictates it is a probability my car might spontaneous become a pink elephant.

I'm all for evidence showing the latency shown on the video is comparable to competing implementations, but I'm not interested in lazy arguments that all momentum is eventually consistent as a defence.

It's a vehicle you can buy right now, and this clip comes from a review (thanks rainbowzootsuit).
