Another item on one of the 35 innovators under age 35, from MIT’s Technology Review, interviews a guy from Nest, the company that suppliers “learning” thermostats. Included:
Today when you arrive home, the Nest sensor sees you and starts cooling your home so you’re comfortable.
And if you extrapolate to the future, you’re driving home from work; your phone knows that you’re driving home, or your car itself knows you’re driving home, and lets Nest know, “Matt will be home in 15 minutes; we’ll start preparing the home for his arrival.”
And then, as you get closer to the door, things might change—it might turn the song list on and play my favorite music, or turn the lights on—or, when I leave, do the opposite.
