This is not true at all. First, many insects can fly very fast. Even honeybees, which are notoriously poor fliers in the insect world, can reach up to 20mph, carrying a load of pollen or nectar. Dragonflies can reach over 60mph, and some flies may be able to reach upwards of 80-90mph. Second, many of these insects have excellent visual collision avoidance mechanisms and the strongest fliers have exquisite control over their flight. There is a lot of literature on this topic.

Also our creations lack a self-healing exoskeleton.

I'm going to need about 4 years a quite a bit of VC money and will I have the autonomous driving solution for you!

It's interesting though that a fly will bounce against the window all day (barring statistical luck) while a wasp or bee will bounce once, understand that that place cannot be passed, bounce the next window once and then find the open one very soon.

My milage varied. After 30 mins of banging on windows, half dead bees fall down and sting you if you stand on them. Don’t have open honey in your house in autumn, and the problem is much reduced.
