Well, while you read, do the math in your head and think about what OP was trying to say. The point - latency is a cold and often uncalculated bitch that will screw with reliability and integrity of the system - got across to me quite easily. I was already on that page by the 4th sentence.

Ingenuity's wobble from a color vs bw frame is a great example of solvable but surprising latency problems along the way.

I did the math in my head. Before i read their comment in fact. Did calculations both on paper and spreadsheets too. Run simulations, and field tests too. Based on what i know i do not believe that the latency imposed by the frame rate of the cameras is a limiting factor on self-driving car performance or safety. I was asking to see if they have some particular scenairo in their mind to check if maybe i’m missing something. If anything I’m much more concerned about the latency of brake actuators.

Ah, ok. If we are just catching the vibes, then sure. The vibes are great.
