  "PageContent": "AutoSimpler | Musings on the ever-more-complex automotive user interfaceWork, home, weekend, vacation.For these reasons I drive a car.I am a naturalized American who has bought into the American dream.  Get a degree, find a job, buy a new car, mortgage a house in the suburbs.  Settle down with a partner, have a kid, move into a better school district before she can spell.I commute, I shop. I faithfully drive my family around for story time, Suzuki violin, free Fridays in museums and weekend excursions to fairs and parks.I work in an auto town in which nearly everyone enjoys a 20% employee discount on a new domestic car.  There are many domestic cars on the road.  City bikes appear on lush suburban streets before dusk, sporting clusters of helmeted ninjas.  They say that bus lines were there for household care takers to ride in from the city to serve the suburban families.  A thing of the past.Smelling my first new car at twenty-two was exciting.  It was a luxurious step-up from the all-weather biking in my home country, China.  Switching to a minivan for my precious cargo was a milestone.  My first satellite radio came with a sportier new car, from which I discovered the beats of euro dance – perfect for that motion forward.Today for my commute, I often ride buses or share rides. I am fortunate enough to have discovered two bus lines near home.  Though I wait at bus stops, I enjoy not having to park.  On days when I teach in another suburban neighborhood after my day job, I drive. I park in a high-rise parking structure and wait in line for a shuttle ride to my office tower.On many weekdays, my car stands restfully in my driveway.  Motoring in its purest form depends on availability of time, money, and a journeying soul. When all three seem scarce, trips become precious.  Cars are also built to last.  We gradually slip out of our roles as chivalrous purchaser of new cars.  I have lost touch of my favorite dealer.  For my daughter’s first car after driver’s ed, which she is in no hurry to complete, I shall check Craigslist.I remember the days when my car and I idled in the heavy traffic on the scenic Pasadena Freeway in a sea of foreign cars. It was then when I learned to uncover local points of interest to the max. Stay on the valley side, cross the canyon only when necessary.  But it was also then when I delighted in soaking up the beauty of SoCal vistas in my car’s cocoon of quietude.  The winding Mulholland Drive demanded fine maneuvers of gears and pedals.  There was always that fond anticipation – soon enough, there would be the Pacific in view, or perhaps the ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier.Gas prices have tripled from the time of my first new car. There was a housing bubble. For the great sport of shopping, I now click “buy” buttons when possible to thrift a trip to the store.  Borders Books went out of business because of people like me, leaving behind a vacant building and a lonely parking lot in my neighborhood. Surviving are the mega stores which save us from driving to other stores, by definition.Productivity apps help me bundle trips and sort to-do lists. Four-hour Work Week teaches me to outsource chores to helpers in India, lest I find them from Sterling Heights. I cannot remember the last time my family went to the movie theater but we do have a Netflix queue long enough for life-time consumption.We now have a noticeable virtual life. We text, we tweet, we look down onto our iPhones and Droids and fill up the otherwise uneventful minutes. No more making awkward eye contact with strangers. And without having to travel a mile, I keep in touch with my friends and family in Cali and China.  When I do fly to them, it is as if I carry on with a Skype video call – only in much higher fidelity.I worship the virtual. I willingly allow it to consume my time.  Not only does it help me rid of my physical entanglement, it helps highlight the spiritually meaningful. I now delight in walking to neighborhood grocers.  Inspired by online samples of “edible front yard”, I try my hand at planting herbs and vegetables where my neighbors would plant formal evergreens. I watch the birds and bees humming about in my chamomile field, totally oblivious to the man-made… Exactly what the GTD life hackers advocate, and a modern flavor of Lao Tzu’s “知足常乐“ (“He who is contented is rich”).Like everybody, my wish is to have more time.  Seriously more time, for the important things in life, such as a walk in the woods and coffee with friends.  In the global obsession with competition and efficiency, after physical activities to load up dopamine to keep healthy and combat stress, I simply need more disconnected and idle-filled time.As a member of the maker group for future cars, I think about what our lives have become, and how we shall take our cars.  I shall take my car safe and stress-free.  I also take it fun, fit for expedition and serendipity, for adventures.  Even then, a car should be had stress-free.  Stress-free to the men who are in love with driving machines or the women who makes a home out of every space.  Stress-free to my daughter’s generation who claims that they are not that much into cars. It is also that generation who would come into any car and start swiping and pinching screens, demanding the magic of smartphone apps.  Stripped to its cleanest components, everyday motoring should be enabling and stress-free, and we all deserve it.",
