If a truck is moving at 100km/hour, that equates to 27.8 m/second.
So a half second latency will mean about 13m error.
I hope the big, safe, remote controlled truck wasn't coming into a turn then. If may cause it to cross the lane divider and squish someone. This is a much worse scenario than merely stopping and blocking traffic.
I agree a arcsecond is 30.87m (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_of_arc), but a milliarcsecond is 1000th of that, so that is 0.03087m (38.7mm).
The ratio is therefore about 0.03.
If a machine can identity and kill another machine, can't we make war a virtual reality scenario where the software fights it out and one one really gets injured?

But you could use wind power then.
