In a recent interview, Dr Jordan Nguyen answers the question “Can big ideas radically change the way people connect?”. Jordan shared his experience in working with people with disabilities, and started wondering if is is possible to help inspire their sense of independence by building a car they can drive? Is this kind of technology possible, where it would be amazing if a car with sensors is able to read the driver’s mind, informing the car where to go, taking the driver to their destination?
Here is the video of the interview.
