 **What is the main thrust?**
 Wood talks a lot about what it means for a system to be autonomous. He 
 actually starts with a etymological argument- "*automatos* means self-acting,
-whereas *autonomos* means independent."
+whereas *autonomos* means independent." The point of an autonomous system 
+is that it must be able to make intelligent decisions that a human would 
+otherwise make. Knowing how to handle degraded or faulty sensors or 
+actuators, switching controller trains, and knowing when scramming is
+necessary are all decisions that an autonomous system would make, that
+a simple automated system could not. The key is in the decision making.
 
 **What is the supporting evidence?**
+Dr. Wood compares a lot to NASA control systems for the Mars rovers.
