This is terrible! Somehow I will have to find a way to make time to continue writing. Collecting drafts doesn't do any good (there is one on paper prototyping that I just don't seem to get finished)
TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) has found a way to make an accelerator pedal smarter! The way this is done is very nice. The driver gets feedback according to the distance to the vehicle ahead. But it does not provide a regular warning signal (the annoying blinking light or just as annoying beep), it just makes the pedal harder to press if you are too close.
Since people are very good in avoiding annoying signals (who still notices the annoying ads while surfing? Do you ever click them?), this is so smart. It doesn't take over (how annoying is that!), but it does help you to take notice in a non-obtrusive way.
