glad to see another Chinese-based scientist winning the prize. It is not common for nobel prize to be awarded to engineering researchers.

Cover story is about information overload.

I really enjoyed "Infoglut" article on information overload. It's about time we started to acknowledge constant e-mails and messaging as an organizational barrier rather than a means of collaboration.

IEEE Spectrum Volvo to Launch Car With "Full Auto Brake"

http://spectrum.ieee.org/blog/computing/it/riskfactor

What do you think? Would you buy a car that had these safety features?
And are US drivers different in their attitude about autonomous
vehicle control versus European drivers or those elsewhere in the world?

I'm not sure would want that. Are there rear facing sensors to take into account vehicles that may be about to hit your rapidly slowing / stopped car and adjust accordingly? How immune to "false positives" is this? What are the chances of the car suddenly hitting the brakes incorrectly? Properly done, I suppose the pluses would outweigh the minuses. But still seems a bit iffy to me.

"Volvo has set a highly aggressive goal of achieving zero deaths and injuries in its cars by 2020, and obviously believes that autonomous control is the only means to help in achieving that." This is a great goal.. a classic BHAG. But the blogger jumps to an erroneous conclusion regarding Volvo's position on autonomous control. Warnings are ... Read Moreissued in this system and it optimizes itself for human interaction prior to automatic response. Also, car development cycles are somewhat less than 11 years, so we have yet to see what else Volvo will implement in an effort to achieve their 2020 goal. I suspect we'll see plenty of driver-assist features between now and then.
