It may seem that “over-investment” and competition are what drive progress.
But as Satya Nadella points out, a single correct equation can overturn everything.
Today’s AI stands on that possibility, evolving day by day.

Ferrari has unveiled the interior of its first all-electric car, Luce.
The result of a five-year collaboration with LoveFrom — though it still feels more like a POC at this stage.

I’ve published a new blog post.
As AI makes answers instantly accessible, the thinking process behind them is becoming increasingly invisible.
Translated from Japanese — written by me, not by AI ;)
Waymo shared follow-up measures after the SF power outage:
• Integrating outage context and reasons
• Updating emergency procedures with public authorities
• Stronger collaboration with first responders
Learning from real-world failures matters.

An article about Waymo testing Gemini as an in-car AI assistant caught my attention.
The key point: Gemini is NOT responsible for driving.
It’s positioned purely as a conversational UI to enhance the passenger experience.

A beautiful video on typeface design from Volvo Cars.
I’m drawn to brands that openly communicate the thinking and craft behind their UX and visual design teams.
And the Volvo EX60 looks to be just around the corner.

Waymo’s Fleet Response passed TÜV SÜD’s audit—aligned with AVSC best practices and ISO 15026-2.
Key: remote assistance is supportive; Waymo Driver stays in control.

The Stringer: The Man Who Took The Photo
Who took that photograph?
The story of Vietnamese photographers during the Vietnam War was truly fascinating.
It also made me think about authorship and copyright — issues that still resonate today.

On the fading relevance of hashtags in social media, an article from @IgniteSMA
“In 2025, hashtags are no longer the primary driver of reach, as algorithms prioritize SEO-friendly captions, conversational engagement, and AI-driven recommendations.”

This really captures the shift we’ve been seeing across the design field.
The lines between roles are blurring, and designers are now expected to own more of the end-to-end process—from vision to execution.
How are you adapting to this change?

“Rivera argues the compression in the industry has been happening long before this point. UX, UI, and prototyping were all different jobs before AI started to shuffle things around.”

I seriously wonder whether shifting from flat design back to physical-world metaphors like frosted glass truly qualifies as innovation in design.
What do you think?

Apple’s new design language, Liquid Glass—with its refractive blur effects—may look striking, but let’s be honest: it’s not exactly easy to read.

“technology should be, when technology's been really good, when it's gone wrong.”

Considering the original concept was shown on a panoramic display, the demo felt underwhelming with such a small screen.
What do you think?

The demo was shown in an Aston Martin — available first in the US and Canada, with global rollout planned within a year.
Not just Aston Martin — Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis are reportedly also working on CarPlay Ultra integration.

Recognizing these not just as considerations for HMI design but as official HMI safety standards marks a significant step forward in automotive history for this field.
#automotive #hmi #ux
Starting in 2026, vehicle safety ratings will need to meet the following HMI safety standards:
- Touchscreen layer
- Physical controls
- Voice control

It seems that Euro NCAP has decided to make in-vehicle user experience a key part of vehicle safety assessments.
