What anti-lock brakes teach us about building good #technology (with Astro Teller)

Most technology forces humans to adapt to its limitations — and that's exactly backwards, says Astro Teller, who leads Google's moonshot factory X.

At @MastersofScale_ Summit in 2024, Astro argues that great technology does the opposite: it wraps itself around human behavior rather than asking humans to bend around it.

He points to anti-lock brakes as the model — when a driver panics and slams the pedal, the system reads that unsophisticated ask and performs a complex dance to actually slow the car safely.

That kind of invisible orchestration, he says, is what builders should be chasing.
