Service / App / Device concept design to push forward to 2.0 public-civic-bureaucratic-political life routine.
 
Specifically designed for Italian current situation, it wants to address several issues.
- Reduce Digital Divide
- Improve Accessibility to legal-politics-economics News.
- Tax, Bureaucratic, Voting, Certification digitalized and on the go.
- Civics, political active participation. 
- Direct political feedback. 
- Dramatically Reduce Public, Taxes, Bureaucratic and Voting infrastructure Costs.

Everything is done with a commercial app+plug-in or an all-in-one device, just externalizing most part of the costs. 
In fact, people will buy the app&plug-in or device to speed up and simplify bureaucracy, tax, legal, certification etc routine.
Government just has to certify the service, maybe hosts central certified servers, and gives few incentives to weaker and elderly.

(push / push rotating handle)

It’s often not immediate and quite embarrassing try to guess how to open a door. Pushing or pulling it…
The affordance of an object is very important, gives the immediate “feeling” (partially unconscious) of what to do with it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordance

- The handle shape is peculiar.
- One side is a little peaked, the other is flat.
- According to cognitive psychology experiments I done with a prototype, there is a huge correlation between handle shape (briefly seen and touched) and the Push/Pull opening direction guess.
- Obviously, when you see and touch a FLAT surface you will PUSH, and when you feel/see PEAKED part you will NOT-PUSH so you will PULL.

I was thinking that Google could develop something more legally and
wide acceptable before introducing a complete automated car.

For example in order to use and gain a massive amount of driving data
G could use the hardware and software created to monitor and make
decision to drive the car in a different way.
In my opinion this way could be big external airbags for car-car collisions.

The great problem of external airbags was the impossibility to foresee
a crash and its entity, but Google automated driving system does it
quite well.

- External airbags would be a great way to reduce injuries and deaths.
- There are no legal issues. You keep driving the car.
- Could be sold in many different versions: -side only protection to
complete 360 protection (number and position of airbags) – little
add-on for older car – car maker collaboration to sell built-in
system in new cars…
- And last but not least: Google would have millions and more cars
testing (internal simulation) G’s self-driving system and possibly
sending a huge amount of driving data from all over the world.

I think it could be a great deal and a step forward within the
self-driving car roadmap.
What do you think?
