Automobile industry shows the future;UX is attached with comfortable driving, not mileage. It could be referred to other businesses.

Every car has 1 wheel and 4 tires so that they competed by horse power. Computer talks about CPU clock speed and memory.Then, cars completed the mileage vs. computers' power consumption and battery life - ECO System.

Now, cars talk about the auto pilot but the point is not its technology.  The important thing is what the auto pilot will bring as a solution for User's Experience (UX).  This cockpit is one of good examples.

We can always appreciate the automobile industry trend to make your business paradigm shift as a good reference.

自動車の自動運転が注目されています。ユーザー経験としてのこうしたデザインは、他のビジネスにもとても参考に成ると思います。

車は、ハンドル1つにタイヤ4つ。当初は、エンジンの馬力で各社競争していました。パソコン業界がCPUの演算速度やメモリーで争っていたようなものです。そして、車は燃費で鎬を削るようになり、パソコンは、電力消費やバッテリーライフで。いわゆるエコシステムという時流の一環ですね。

今、車は自動運転が話題ですが、重要なのはその技術ではありません。ユーザー経験としてどんな新しいものを提供するようになるか?このビデオのコクピットはいい例でしょう。

自動車業界のトレンドはとても参考になることが多いと思います。それを自分のビジネスにどう反映してみるか?それを考えるのも一つです。

In the north of downtown Seattle, a lot of contractions are still on going between Lake Union and the center of Seattle city.

Seattle has become the global business center for cloud computing business with such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Facebook, HP and etc.  In addition to that, Vulcan Ventures (Paul Allen) had made the efforts to develop this area.

Keep your eyes open on Seattle for new business development.
