Keep it simple, Keep it clear!

I contacted Filip Krnja few day ago and got a some really helpful hints.

Filip Krnja is a research associate and author of the 'Connected Car' study which I mentioned in this blog few month ago. He sent me an excellent video with his presentation about this project.

Everyone who is interested in Inclusive Design, Universal Design and Sustainable Design Methods, Tools and Approaches - MUST WATCH!

He also wrote me that HHC released a very comprehensive guide to inclusive design: 'Innovating with People - The business of Inclusive Design'.
Please see this LINK.


Thanks for that Filip. You truly inspire me!

Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car



Sebastian Thrun helped build Google's amazing driverless car, powered by a very personal quest to save lives and reduce traffic accidents. Jawdropping video shows the DARPA Challenge-winning car motoring through busy city traffic with no one behind the wheel, and dramatic test drive footage from TED2011 demonstrates how fast the thing can really go.
