I like this project a lot but think it will need a lot of time to develop. I also think it's funny to add a NASA astronaut to the advisor team.
Another weakness is that the project is going to have to wait for the autonomous vehicle industry to catch up!
I agree about having a NASA astronaut, he probably has experience with autonomous driving systems and maybe with managing comm between AVs in space.
The industry is really not ready for DAV but I believe the world will change rapidly in this regard.
