166,700 fruit fly brain cells just flew an FPV drone into a wall. Same simulated brain that typed FizzBuzz. This time it got a controller. it Called FPV PILOT. NeuroMechFly poses the fly on a DJI-style remote. Visual neurons read the drone feed - left eye at 177 Hz, right eye at 129 Hz. Steering neurons push the sticks. Forward speed 1.49 m/s through a bombed-out desert town. Every turn decoded straight from spiking cells a 6,588 firing at cruise. 8.8 seconds in: a wall. At impact the brain lights up. 15,628 cells active, more than double cruise. Then the feed cuts to black. Signal lost. Forward: 0.00 m/s. Turn: 0.00 rad/s. 100M years of evolution dodging flyswatters. 9 seconds against a brick wall.
