Umsunguli we-Nest u-Tony Fadell akagcini nje ukwakha ama-thermostat ahlakaniphile nezitholi zentuthu. Usanda kwethula i-Actev Motors, i-Arrow Smart-Kart yokuqala kule nkampani, ethembisa ukunikeza izingane ithuba lokubona ukuthi imoto ehlakaniphile ibukeka kanjani. Amamephu kagesi afaka i-GPS, i-a kanye ne-WiFi yokuphepha kwabashayeli abancane. Abazali, besebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza lweselula, bangakwazi ukubiyela imephu indawo yokushayela, bakhawulele isivinini esikhulu, noma bacindezele inkinobho ethi “Misa” esimweni esiphuthumayo. Ngamanye amazwi, ngisho nezingane ezincane (umgomo oyinhloko uphakathi kweminyaka engu-5 no-9 ubudala) zingahambahamba ngaphandle kokushiya amakhanda azo. Kukhona futhi inzwa ye-proximity yokuvimbela izingozi ezizenzakalelayo.
Izingane ezindala nazo zingasebenzisa imicibisholo, futhi lokhu kungenziwa ngendlela oyifisayo. Ungakhetha isitayela somzimba esihlukile (kunekhithi ephefumulelwe ye-Formula One), ufake ibhethri elikhudlwana, futhi uthenge ngisho nekhithi yokudonsa ukuze ukhiphe i-Ken Block yengane yakho. Akuyona into encane – ikhithi yokuqala ingu-$600 uma uyi-oda kusengaphambili, ngokuvamile ingu-$1,000 – kodwa uma ifika ekuqaleni kwehlobo, iwahlula kalula amasondo Amandla kamakhelwane wakho.
KuFadell, imayelana nakho kokubili imfundo kanye nokutotoswa kwabantu abasha. Uchazele iForbes ukuthi ufuna “ukufundisa isizukulwane esilandelayo” ngezimoto zikagesi. Abasanda kushada abahamba nge-Arrow kulo nyaka bangakwazi ukuzishayela izimoto zabo zikagesi emashumini eminyaka kusukela manje. Ngaphambi kokuba ubuze: yebo, inguqulo yabantu abadala yabagibeli abadala ingenzeka.
