Probably repair, refuel, what happens in a tornado. There’s an infinite amount of complexity in the world and a finite amount of computation

The tornado is the easiest one to solve. It's called insurance.

Repair is more maintenance than use. Good eventual goal. Not required to see benefits. Best case, it drives itself to the garage. Worst case, for now, human mechanic does a house call.

Refueling? Seems solvable. Tornadoes? Not directly solvable, but, no less so than for humans.

There’s infinite complexity, sure, but that’s why it’s silly to try and hop to done. One step at a time.
