Please stop multitasking while driving.

The tech seems neat and all but please stop multitasking while driving, encouraging others to multitask while driving, and building products specifically designed to encourage multitasking while driving.

If you want to work while you're in transit: take public transit.

I agree that we should find ways to limit instead of instigate multitasking while driving.

Building tech is usually clearer than finding a clear use case for it. As we find ways to mature the tech to be aligned with the ultimate vision we have, we will test various problems the immature tech can solve.

With that being said, if you have any ideas where this could really help people (for instance people with motor disabilities), please share them. We would like to serve people and build with humility.

Try a demo where you're doing work that needs your hands! Laundry, gardening, child/pet care. A cool demo could be using Blue to look up tutorials and order parts for pick up at the hardware store while fixing something around the house. Or maybe a demo where someone schedules an appointment while holding a fussy baby.
