Fig. 1: Complexity of parallel parking a unicycle as a function of the distance z to the curb.
From: Universality in long-distance geometry and quantum complexity
a, When \({\mathcal{I}}=1\), we drift directly into the parking spot, and the complexity is simply z. b, For large \({\mathcal{I}}\), there are three regimes: first, the complexity is linear with a large coefficient (orange); second, after the cut locus there is a square root regime (blue); and third, at large z, linear growth resumes with coefficient 1 (red).
