How Autonomous Cars Will Unravel Society
- binxbolling 12y agoI'm interested in reading this article, but simply can't because of the insane nested format. Is this supposed to be an improvement upon a page of text? </oldmangripes>
- nicholasreed 12y agoWhile the content is great, this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had trying to navigate and read content. I love the concept, but the UX and the answers to "what do I click on, where do I look" were horribly confusing for this first-time user.
- btown 12y agoA simple "Next" button on the caption popover would have made the UX a million times better. It's painful when UX designers don't grab low-hanging fruit like this.
- _dark_matter_ 12y agoArgh, I know. I think it needs two things: A giant "NEXT" button on every page (especially the first; where do you click?) and then the author composed content needs to be bigger. That tiny box just does not suffice.
- austinz 12y agoI would have enjoyed it more if the text boxes containing the annotations were larger than business cards. Honestly, I would have enjoyed it the most if it were a standard long-form article. But even allowing the annotation boxes to be 'maximized' would have been a big improvement.
- DavidBradbury 12y agoI would have also liked it if, when I navigated to a new 'slide', that it scrolled the annotation back up to the top.
- mfish 12y agoyeah, i clicked the link, took one look, and left
- MetaCosm 12y agoYeah, me too. It really takes a uniquely terrible UI for me to just give up on it.
- avdempsey 12y agoAgreed that there are some UX rough edges here. Most importantly to me it wasn't immediately clear that the article commentary boxes could scroll. Cool concept though, and I'm a sucker for discussions about autonomous cars.
- Turing_Machine 12y agoYes, scrollbars (or something) are desperately needed there. Ideally there'd be something like a maximize button or an obvious drawer control that would let you bring the text to full screen (or nearly so). Reading anything more than a sentence or so long in that format is just painful.

- mitosis 12y agoIs there more to the site than the five small PostIt-like paragraphs on a green background? Perhaps I'm missing something.
- jph 12y agoCity streets will become safer, quieter, and more available to people walking, riding bikes, and enjoying green spaces. New York's High Line park and San Francisco's parklets are good examples of what can happen when we can repurpose transportation spaces.

- owenjones 12y agoThere was recently another post on HN about Machine Learning that was also presented on Wayfarer, the UI for this website is very confusing and many of the posts in that submission were also: * I don't know how to use this / using this is actively painful * Is this content sponsored by Wayfarer or just hosted on it? Not sure what Wayfinder's use case is supposed to be? Also wayfinder.co has no about page or actual content to speak of.
