So I brought a new car

I decided to replace the Lancer since its getting older and is high mileage, I looked around and finally settled on a Nissan Leaf. Its fully electric and since I don’t know much about EV cars what a better way to find out. Its a step up from the Lancer, has working A/C, built in […]

Just a short one this month - as mentioned yesterday, I'm still in my recovery, and my typing is slow and not particularly accurate. What we didn't do in May I did my usual look ahead to the start of the month on the 1st, listing the things we expected to do. Alas, my injuries...

From Granola Girl to NASCAR Fan: My Talladega Experience

I’ve lived in Alabama for years, and I always said I’d never go to Talladega for a NASCAR race. Why? It’s just never been my scene. I’m more of a mountains-and-music-festivals kind of girl. Give me hiking boots over stadium seats any day, you know? Despite my crunchy, granola heart, I’ve always had a soft...

RxJS in the real world: Building a car turn indicator

Reactive Programming with RxJS is a great way to model event-based systems. It can feel super abstract sometimes. However, we can even apply the principles of Reactive Programming to our everyday world! Whenever I sit in a car, I'm impressed by how the electronics work. Wouldn't it be cool to build all of this stuff with RxJS? I want to take you on a car ride into how we can implement a turn indicator with RxJS!

Kiss the good times goodbye

It saddens me to say it, but we are approaching the end of the automotive era. The auto industry is on an accelerating change curve. For hundreds of years, the horse was the prime mover of humans and for the past 120 years it has been the automobile. Now we are approaching the end of the line for the automobile because travel will be in standardized modules. The end state will be the fully autonomous module with no capability for the driver to exercise command. You will call for it, it will arrive at your location, you’ll get in, input your destination and go to the freeway. (…)Most of these standardized modules will be purchased and owned by the Ubers and Lyfts and God knows what other companies that will enter the transportation business in the future. (…)This transition will be largely complete in 20 years.

The Secret UX Issues That Will Make (Or Break) Self-Driving Cars

Self-driving cars went viral again recently, when Tesla dropped a $2,500 software update on its customers that promised a new “autopilot” feature. The videos are fascinating to watch, mostly because of what’s not happening. There’s one, titled “Tesla Autopilot tried to kill me!” where a guy drives with his hands off the wheel for the first time. He hasn’t replaced driving with, say, watching a movie or relaxing—instead, he’s replaced the stress of driving with something worse. (…) Somewhere in between where we stand now, annoyed at how much time we waste sitting in traffic, and the future, where we’re driven around by robots, there will be hundreds of new cars. Their success doesn’t simply depend on engineering. The success depends on whether we, the people, understand what some new button in our brand-new car can do. Can we guess how to use it, even if we’ve never used it before? Do we trust it? Getting this right isn’t about getting the technology right—the technology exists, as the Tesla example proved so horribly. The greater challenge lies in making these technologies into something we understand—and want to use.

Marginalizing the auto industry by looking inside

The modern day automobile is not intuitive. Drivers need to learn to operate an automobile. Passengers have to conform to a car’s existing seating arrangement with only marginal modification. Software has the potential to change all of these limitations. While Tesla has become a pioneer in electric vehicles and BMW continues to slowly build momentum in the space, both companies have not actually altered the automobile’s fundamental purpose.

The ultimate impulse purchase

There is one thing that often frustrates me and yet it happens quite often: I am driving and listening to the radio, and at some point they play a song I like. I would love to buy it, but I don’t know...
