AutoCar

Technology

Do you have an idea that doesn't fit any of the other challenges? This is the place for you, whether you want to design and develop an app, create a data visualization, hack on an Arduino... or anything else you can think of!

Explanation

Inspiration

Falling asleep while driving, and large car manufacturers scoffing at the idea.

What it does

Drives you anywhere, cept underwater.

How I built it

I havent yet , should I have? I have only prototyped certain aspects of it. This will truly be hacked together on site.

Challenges I ran into

Building a self driving car, challenge 1. The biggest challenges are always trying to get devices to work in unintended scenarios. Like using a tank motor to steer a car.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Embedded control of high amp motors and lane detection.

What I learned

I am still learning things. Ill never stop ether.

What's next for AutoCar

The Auto part. Need to assemble a working prototype and polish it until shes pedestrian safe.
