A pro tennis player can follow the trajectory of a ball served at a speed up to 160 mph, move to the optimal spot, position her arm, swing the racket, all within a few hundred milliseconds. It do all these tasks and consume ~10x less power than a computer.http://nautil.us/issue/59/connections/why-is-the-human-brain-so-efficient …

A drone can very likely do the same thing and consume only a tiny fraction of the resources that go into a tennis player.

But the drone cannot cook, do homework with its (?) children, make children as a matter of fact, or have a decent dinner conversation. A human can do all this with 25W computing power. And, yes, tennis players are ridiculously overpaid.

But drones don't _have_ to do all these things, which is a feature, not a bug. Tennis players need to do all of this as part of their maintenance procedures.

Btw., it is much easier to generate and distribute 25W for a computer than the wattage our brain requires. And I am not sure by how much 25W of digital compute is really inferior to a biobrain if we had the right algorithms.
