it's fine as a university level thought experiment, the problem is credulous popsci idiots taking it and saying look, the future is now!

yea, but it's also funny to read a paper that posits instantaneous detection of car malfunctions as a solution to a 70-car pile-up failure mode. failure analysis isn't a great topic for making glib simplifying assumptions. how fast does poo poo get real? what happens if there's a 0.5 sec delay before the system id's a crash?
