The Perception & Action Podcast 22 – Braking & Steering/Knuckleballs
How does a driver know when to start braking and whether they are braking hard enough to avoid a collision? Where do we look when we steer around a curve? Do race car drivers look somewhere different?
Why is it so hard to hit (and throw!) a knuckleball? (Time: 18:36)
