I came across today a website that explain with responsive man face what I have been pitching about responsive design since the beginning of this blog.

See the tablet indicator in the top of the page. Continuing resizing the window to the break point of a mini-tablet, I get the same image of the tablet, in a minimal proportion. See the space above the head, it wasn't there when the window size was a little bigger. Now is when the black magic happens. When it comes to the size of the smartphone, we do not have a man anymore.

With so many industries placing more value on design, specifically interface design, why does the automotive industry seem to have it all so
