Assuming that Porritt can get along with +Elon Musk he should probably be a pretty good fit for +Tesla Motors. I interviewed him at length at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show when he was leading the development of Aston's One-77 supercar and this is the sort of engineering that Tesla would certainly go for.

+Macworld"s +Jason Snell makes some excellent points about ways the electronic calendars could serve us better. Back in the early 1990s when I got first engineering job after college among the first things they gave me was a Franklin planner.
Unfortunately, (or not) I was not a good Franklin user and often missed stuff because I didn't obsessively record everything I did and check my calendar.

All that said, Google Now has made great progress in knowing where I am and where I need to be, giving me notifications about when to leave (at last as long as calendar events have sufficient details about location). Incorporating travel time and automatically rejecting events based on that would be outstanding.
Why aren’t digital calendars smarter?

Watch out, drivers: Apple plans to integrate Siri and Maps more deeply into cars with iOS 7
Apple had better hope that its investments in iOS Maps yield some major improvements if it hopes to push its much-maligned mapping application into more automobiles. Unnamed sources tell 9to5Mac th……
