22 – Braking & Steering/Knuckleballs
03/01/16 • 24 min
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)

A theory of visual control of braking based on information about time-to-collision
Time-to-contact judgment in the locomotion of adults and preschool children Visual control of braking: a test of the tau hypothesis Affordance-Based Control of Visually Guided Action A two-point visual control model of steering Where we look when we steer Which parts of the road guide steering?Using vision to control locomotion: looking where you want to go
