Nakuba izihloko eziningi esabelana ngazo ku-SolidSmack zibonisa izici ezizuzisayo nezimangalisayo zedizayini, kukhona ezinye ezi…zincane kunezimnandi.
Bheka nje ukuthi umculi wedijithali unjani USimon Weckert uthatha ithuba lobuchwepheshe bendawo ye-GPS ye-Google ukuze azenzele eyakhe i-traffic jam:
Manje ucabanga ukuthi zonke izimoto zikuphi; futhi yilokho nje: azikho. Ngokufaka ama-smartphones angamasekeni angu-99 enqoleni ebomvu phakathi nomgwaqo kulo lonke idolobha lase-Berlin, u-Weckert udale ngempumelelo isiminyaminya esibonakalayo.
Ifoni ngayinye ine-GPS yayo evuliwe, futhi ngokuhamba ezindaweni lapho izimoto zivame ukudlula khona (okuyinto okungafanele uyenze), i-Google Amamephu ithatha lolu lwazi futhi iluhumushele emgwaqeni ogcwele phama. Okungase kube umgwaqo oluhlaza, ongenalutho manje obukeka njengobomvu ohlelweni lokusebenza.
Londoloza ukuhamba emgwaqeni, kunzima ukusho ukuthi okwenziwa u-Weckert akukho emthethweni yini. Akalimazi muntu, futhi nakuba abashayeli abasebenzisa i-Google Amamephu bengase bathathe lolu lwazi olunganembile futhi bathole omunye umzila, okumele bakwenze ukuhlola imigwaqo ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi ayinalutho.
Nokho, kuyoba nzima ukuthola izicelo ezingokoqobo lolu Hack lokusebenza. Ukuthwala ama-smartphones ayikhulu emotweni yakho ngenkathi ushayela kungadala kuphela isiminyaminya esibonakalayo emgwaqeni okuwo njengamanje. Ngaphandle uma unomngane ozimisele ukushayela phambili namafoni ashiwo ukuze avule indlela (uma unomngane onjalo, okulungele), kusazodingeka waneliseke ngethrafikhi emzileni owuhlelile.
Yize kunzima impela ukusebenza (ubani onesikhathi sokuthola ama-smartphones angama-99 futhi awafake enqoleni?), kuseyi-maphack ekhohlisayo yohlelo lokusebenza elokhu ikhona kusukela ngo-2005.
USimon Weckert Iwebhusayithi ichaza kabanzi ngeyakhe Ukugenca kweGoogle Maps, kanye neminye imisebenzi yakhe, engasoleki kangako ngokuziphatha.
