Waymo says its remote assistance (Fleet Response) passed TÜV SÜD’s independent audit, aligning with AVSC best practices and ISO 15026-2. Key point: remote assistance is supportive only—Waymo Driver stays in control. The design is AI driving, humans adding context for edge cases. #waymo #autonomous https://lnkd.in/gVKhaYkD

Keep your AI prompts and workflows close, but your users closer. Drawing upon two decades of experience in design, product management, and consulting, Andy Dunmire created the Q.U.E.S.T. Method as an actionable framework that fuses strategic Design Thinking with powerful storytelling, ensuring users become the HEROES of their own success. Core Approach: Q.U.E.S.T. combines Design Thinking principles, user-centered design, and powerful storytelling to drive impactful solutions. Questions (Q)  → Pinpoint the core challenge by exploring desirability, viability, and feasibility. Users (U)  → Immerse yourself in users' worlds to identify their true needs and map their journey. Exploration (E)  → Liberate creativity to generate and embrace a wide array of potential ideas. Solutions (S)  → Refine ideas into well-defined solutions, prioritizing value and developing prototypes. Test (T)  → Put solutions in front of real users to gather feedback, validate hypotheses, and refine. Craft Your Impact Story  → Transform your validated solution into a powerful 'before and after' narrative of user transformation.

GV (Google Ventures) have a long history of hiring former designers and design leaders to support their portfolio companies. Folks like Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky, Kate Aronowitz, Daniel Burka, Braden Kowitz, Vanessa Cho, and Tom Hulme. In my latests podcast interview, Kate Aronowitz explains why this is, and what designers bring to the table. Interestingly it's not about craft, but rather the way they see the world with a beginners mind.
