Message:: [QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1005190, member: 23626"]You know they currently have a contest for builders of computer driven automobiles for military use here in Southern Nevada. It's a desert course and the auto must be entirely self contained computer controlled. Although, the universities and manufacturers who enter have had a lot of setbacks, like the cars leaving the course and parking in people's carports, etc., each year has shown immense improvement. Last year one entry nearly completed the course. The vehicle has to recognize through cams (eyes) all the same aspects a human driver does and react accordingly. I believe that we will see one complete it within this decade. Then the technology will take off like a rocket ! Given that aspect of the level of sophistication we have reached with our technology, I believe computerized grading is doable and very likely to become the norm of our hobby/business in a short time. The standardization, ability to recognize altering or enhancements, etc will be beyond the ability of humans just as it has with everything else. Digital recordings are better than our ears, cams are better than our eyes and computation speeds excel that of our brains. When put together, it will be a superior grading system to any we have now. The future is almost here. IMHO[/QUOTE]
