Tanni Grey-Thompson says disabled drivers at risk of missing out on switch to electric cars

Campaigners including Tanni Grey-Thompson have warned that disabled drivers are at risk of being locked out of the electric car transition because of inaccessible chargers. The former Paralympics champion and the Electric Vehicle Association England are pushing for the government to introduce standards to ensure chargers are easy to reach. The number of public chargers across the UK is rising rapidly, with 17,400 two an hour installed in the year to July. However, the lack of standards means that disabled drivers have often been unable to trust that they can use them.

Ambient Animations In Web Design: Practical Applications (Part 2) - Smashing Magazine

Ambient animations are the kind of passive movements you might not notice at first. However, they bring a design to life in subtle ways. Elements might subtly transition between colours, move slowly, or gradually shift position. Elements can appear and disappear, change size, or they could rotate slowly, adding depth to a brand's personality. In Part 1, I illustrated the concept of ambient animations by recreating the cover of a Quick Draw McGraw comic book as a CSS/SVG animation.

E-bike hire schemes 'like wild west' mayor says

Dockless hired e-bikes are popular, convenient and emit zero emissions, and micro-mobility is often seen as the solution to transport in cities. But the sector is unregulated. There are concerns over injuries and road safety with a cohort of newer cyclists using the bikes. And one of the biggest headaches is where they park - dockless meaning they can be left pretty much anywhere. Pavements are blocked and there is criticism the rollout of the bikes has not been matched with infrastructure.

AI is, at its core, a tool used to imitate human knowledge in an advanced capacity. So while it's able to produce work faster, it also inherits all our biases. It's important to address these biases when building products to ensure that what we're developing can be used by everyone.

And as people like you and me age, this becomes especially important. Ensuring a minimum contrast ratio between text and background makes it easier to read, even for those who see limited or no color.
