I am currently a software engineer at Google, where as a member of the Android platform team I build frameworks and user interfaces.
The blog here at dsandler.org is mostly historical; you can find more recent posts on Google+.
While we’re on the topic of zippy little fuel-efficient autos: Hybrid Cars
Don’t Live Up to Mileage Claims. Referenced: Pete Blackshaw’s hybrid blog
in which he fails to get a straight answer from Honda.
“My Honda Civic hybrid car barely gets 32 MPG, ridiculously less than
the advertised 47-48 advertising mileage.”
In lieu of shiny new car photos, I offer these surreptitious snaps from our
Scion xA test drive. (Erin was a little uneasy at the time about taking
photos of a car that wasn’t ours. But, hey, now it is ours!)
