For those of us who learned how to drive a few decades ago, driving a modern car is a completely different experience. New cars come with rear-view cameras, obstacle sensors, parking assistance, lane-change assistance, adaptive cruise controls, autopilot driving, and even web browsers. Many of these features should make driving a safer and more comfortable activity. And they will — but only if car designers understand the most basic fact about human attention: it’s limited. And if they design these sophisticated car features so that they don’t take away cognitive resources from the basic task, which is driving.

The Distribution of Users’ Computer Skills: Worse Than You Think
One of usability’s most hard-earned lessons is that you are not the user. This is why it’s a disaster to guess at the users’ needs. Since designers are so different from the majority of the target audience, it’s not just irrelevant what you like or what you think is easy to use — it’s
