Highly recommend anyone in Chicago check out his exhibit at the Art Institute.

I’d also be curious of any current day architects carrying on his style or at least ethos.

I can 100% confidently say the average US buyer is not an auto enthusiast. Cars are appliances to the vast majority of people here.

There are multiple other factors for the relatively low adoption of EVs compared to China.

Seconded. I am also curious to what your ADHD plan is.

What, if any, alternative framework other than single payer could be put into place instead of our current hellscape?

Have health sharing plans been successful? Those require a religious affiliation IIRC.

I exclude single payer solely because it’s impossible with our current leadership.

I’m surprised there isn’t a Costco like medical group that’s nationwide, has a membership, and works solely to provide care efficiently.

My grandma is 83 and I could’ve written this exact same post.

I know it comes for everyone, but the pace of said spiral is frightening.

Wish we were in a timeframe with more alternatives for rapid loss of mobility and muscle.

Very impressive! How many jobs do you estimate this could displace?

What company if you don't mind? Sounds like work I've been interested in. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I have an impending move to Chicago and really haven't connected with the place the 6 or so times I've been the last year.

Maybe some history will help.

Maybe the current designers and product planners will peruse this and get inspired to make a decent looking car again*

*With actual steering feel and less gimmicks please

One overlooked feature of physical controls is that they also give interiors an identity and experience.

Growing up obsessed with cars, I loved seeing how different brands would lay out the cabin. Volvos from the 2000s used a rather large diagram of a seated person to select the HVAC vent for example.

Also, in my brain, a 3000+ pound object just dang requires some stuff to physically press, push, and hear click!

A couple giant touchscreens with touch controls nearly eliminates that.

What a lovely read and solution.

My sister has a disability making independent living a challenge. Although I have 0 technical background, I need to start thinking and brainstorming in this manner.

Neat! Do you pick up the bulbs as needed from an auto parts store? Or do you keep a supply on hand?

I think you want to keep this as simple as possible, but I see headlight restoration (which can be done in 30min) and wiper blade replacement complementing this nicely.
