OH RUDOLf—WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
Well I won’t go into the inspiration porn aspects of the holiday classic. it was developed to make a point even with the Island of Misfit Toys where the magnificent Santa swooped in to save the day guided by that glowing nose that was until it became annoying was seen as a definite flaw.
However keeping this brief—I am wondering if the makers of Autonomous Vehicles (Self Driving and otherwise ) have decided that people with disabilities are pretty much a subset of the population to be shunned instead of included in the thought process? Because you see if Santa would have been thinking of the assets known as “Rudolf’s glowing nose”….he might have had all the elves and other Reindeer out searching for this sort of talent long before the emergency Christmas Eve.
When are builders of new technology going to stop getting away with the Rudolf rescue or retrofits that have become so much of the common trend in technology. When are builders and engineers going to realize that body and cognitive -diverse humans can and should be playing a part in the advancement of their industries and products. Raise your hand any company who wouldn’t have liked to haSteven Hocking as part of their team? Or maybe you would have liked to pass on Edison too?
Oh well…. I was jut thinking about a time when an industry needed solutions to a number of remaining issues you know like all the AI and self-driving sectors?
Well I said I’d keep this brief so just think a bit and I HO HO Hope you get the point
Peace,
and maybe you’ll go down in history!
