Could you build this?
No Simulating a biological fruit fly connectome with 165k neurons and 25M synapses to control an autonomous vehicle requires specialized computational neuroscience and custom physics simulation engines.
What it would actually take: The system requires parsing dense connectomic graph data (such as Janelia's MaleCNS), executing biological neural dynamics at scale, and interfacing the connectome with a driving simulator via DAgger imitation learning. The critical difficulty lies in numerically simulating massive graph-based spiking or rate-state neural dynamics in real time while maintaining biologically plausible constraints. This demands advanced computational neuroscience research and high-performance simulation engineering.
