Big Picture ScienceVroom!Self-driving cars, once a thing of science fiction, have become a reality in a handful of cities across the country. As our vehicles gain autonomy, they may provoke a profound shift not unlike the introduction of the first car in the late1800s and raise the question of whether the human driver will soon be obsolete. For a glimpse into the future of self-driving cars, we take a spin through the history of the automobile, from the Model T to the driverless taxi-cab. Along the way, we explore the rise of American manufacturing and the unmistakable but unexpected way...

Norton. In this wide-ranging discussion, the author reflects on why cars are reflections of our national character, from the Model T to the Range Rover, and how automotive legends like Carl Benz, Ferdinand Porsche, and Harley Earl, created the cars we love and hate, from the VW Beetle to the Mustang and the Corvette, from the SUV to the Tesla Cybertruck.

She proves she has something to give by giving her all and leaving a legacy that no one can argue with. Jackie’s last 20 years were a study in how fulfilling a working life can be.

Urbcast - a podcast about cities (podcast o miastach)76: Czemu warto projektować naszą przestrzeń dla nudy? (gościni: Aleksandra Gordowy)Witaj w 76. odcinku Urbcastu będącym GRANDE FINALE drugiego sezonu - ostatnim odcinkiem w tym roku, w którym porozmawiałem o projektowaniu dla nudy razem z Aleksandrą Gordowy.
Dlaczego warto o tym rozmawiać?
Bo w coraz bardziej zabieganym i przebodźcowanym świecie nie mamy nawet chwili dla siebie. Zabieramy swoją pracę, laptopa czy telefon do łóżka lub toalety. Dlaczego warto w tym wszystkim na chwilę nicnierobić i się po prostu ponudzić?
Dlaczego warto posłuchać?
