Basics

(Note that this page may need a better name, or may already have a page and thus may need merging)
This page goes over an existing, and perhaps growing, problem in product development
Many designs are being designed by people removed from the end user
That combined with little feedback etc leads to many great ideas with poor execution, or ideas that don't work outside of "normal conditions"

SO the train of thought that got me to write this was that i was watching this video on catalytic converters , and they mentioned DEF , i then looked it up , read a wikipedia article, then was intruiged for some hands on videos.
I Started watching some youtube videos, and MANY were on:
- Accidentally mixing DEF in Diesel Tank or the other way around
- Their car being software "bricked" in some situation where they ran out
- Availability issues (either they don't have it, or it is "expired" (it is aqueous amonia, so it will turn to water voer time)
- Education Issues (people don't understand it's use and thus remove it due to being a "gimmick" / scam, perfectly understandable, but widespread NOX Emmisions ARE an issue)
Lead me to thinking about the issue, granted this is partially the WHOLE IDEA OF OSE + OS Movements...BUT i think it is also a good thing to note in the future
On a further note we will also be able to have our designs:
- "Just Work" and/or be Foolproof (for seperate liquids etc ports that physically wont fit eachother, easy maitnence etc)
- Be expalinable without being a "gimmick" (and a strategy to get a person out of this train of thought)
The bit on the video:
- The older tractors do a good job, wonder if that'l be true of the new ones when THEY are older
- IE open source the GOOD TECH
