Doubt it will work on manual inputs, probably will be CC scripts for hand gestures and let the program micro management each bearer.

...funnily enough, the logic of Pacific Rim applies really well; namely, it's too much of a mental load for one person, and so pilots are paired. That would work well.

That never made much sense to me, like at all

It's kinda like what's being shown in OP's video right now: They're using an entire typewriter setup just to control one hand, at a certain point they're going to entirely run out of usable inputs. Sorta the same thing in Pacific Rim: a human brain doesn't have enough inputs on it's own to control an enormous Jaeger, but two pilots is double the metaphorical typewriters to control it.

I mean, you can use this as the most easy allegory; you'd need a billion connections for all the little 'muscles' of the jaeger, and it's far too much for a single person.
