WAVI — Accessible Vehicle Index
Find the vehicle that gives you more independence.
What it does
WAVI (World Accessible Vehicle Index) is a new way to compare vehicles through the lens of disability and independence. Instead of ranking cars by horsepower or luxury, WAVI evaluates 48 criteria across access & transfer, mobility-device compatibility, driving accessibility, automation, fatigue reduction, safety and support. Evidence is graded, missing data lowers confidence rather than becoming a zero, and scores are withheld until the evidence is strong enough.
Accessible With Design is a New Mexico initiative applying vehicle design, robotics, AI and driving automation to transportation independence, and home of the WAVI index.
Modern vehicles can recognize us, unlock themselves, steer, park and update overnight. Yet accessibility is still too often added after the vehicle is designed. Accessible With Design looks at the complete journey rather than isolated features. Proximity, phone or credential recognition confirms the driver before they reach the door, so nothing has to be operated by hand at the curb. We do not need nine science-fiction inventions. Much of the enabling technology already exists. The opportunity is to design it around the person. Traditional vehicle reviews measure horsepower, acceleration, range and luxury. What can realistically be added through qualified vehicle modification. How emerging…from accessiblewithdesign.com

Each dot on the chart is a car. Horizontal scale = mileage. Vertical scale = price. The size of a dot = year (newer = larger), plus I colored 2007 .. 2011 in different colors to find "fresh" cars quicker. This is just some sample data from the last 24 hours, relatively cheap cars under $32,000 within 500 mile radius of NYC.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
