Raspberry Pi, Smart Highways Win World's Biggest Design Prize

Posted by Soulskill on from the i-would-play-quake-on-both dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last night the €500,000 INDEX: Award was awarded to five designs that can improve life for millions of people around the world. The winners include high-tech highways that light up at night, the $25 Raspberry Pi computer, a simple piece of paper that can cut food waste by extending the life of fresh produce by 2-4 weeks, and a plan for adapting to climate change."

    If the road could talk to you, what would it say?

    i'm guessing it would be something like, "OWW! OWW! GET OFF ME! IT HURTS!"
