Largely because Brian Reynolds designed it

Or just how well they designed it

It's very much by design.

Zigurd | karma 8472 | avg karma 1.31 · | 2014-09-20 07:51:45

Who designed that? Unbelievable.

It's by design.

It's particularly satisfying when a design doesn't just account for parasitic elements but uses them to advantage.

I remember Jonny Ive mentioned this and how he was proud to have designed it.

It's the affordances, in my opinion. Whoever designed the physical hardware was an unsung genius.

ekianjo | karma 34827 | avg karma 2.44 · | 2015-10-04 07:45:07+00:00

That shows how much design went into this project.

Oh, I remember this. I wonder how much of it was they came up with the design quickly and realized they had a lot of time and money left, so they got to work on the justification process that we see here.

Try doing major repairs at the side of the road with people shooting at you, and you'll appreciate the design.

This is ridiculously cool. I'm curious to know more about the design/planning that went in to this.

monsecchris | karma 162 | avg karma 0.91 · | 2024-02-23 08:41:06

The results were by design.

montalbano | karma 5933 | avg karma 8.96 · | 2018-08-06 17:08:05+00:00

I think the modularity of the manufacturing process helps too.

OK Thats awesome! Their design was light years ahead of everyone else.

deafpolygon | karma 1548 | avg karma 0.92 · | 2023-09-04 00:38:02

Especially since the engineers are the ones who created this.

jakobsassen | karma 3 | avg karma 1.5 · | 2011-02-09 03:50:46+00:00

I'd say that this design is quite engineer-driven. It seems, their design is 'just' applied knowledge about perception.

Yeah, I greatly respect transmission for that design

FatherPaulStone | karma 10 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2023-06-09 08:00:13

Almost as if it's been designed that way.
