Totally understand this important point.

I think humans are great at reading cues, connecting dots, making interpretations.

We are co-evolving with technology. We don’t just use technology, technology is something we inhabit.

Hope for the future where these interpretative human skills will be complemented by imaginative interfaces of technology. Hope for the future where street will evolve into new forms social contract, with new repertoire of behaviors and forms of collaboration between people, people and technology that will further advance our, human skills.

I welcome smiling at the pedestrian car, as a one of many possible forms of probing the kind future we want to have. Smiling car acknowledging pedestrian or biker’s presence is an improvement over current turning of face of many drivers, pretending to not make an eye contact with pedestrian to “not be interrupted” in their way.

Hoping for the kind of future where technologically enhanced world will help us be better at being human.

Thank you for working on making future happen faster.
