Design Challenges

1. Self-park and signal: Drive forward and stop when the car is 10 cm from a wall and signal braking
2. Self-steer: Allow the car to avoid obstacles as it drives by turning when it encounters an obstacle to avoid hitting it
3. Self-drive: Follow a line on the ground as the car drives
4. Self-navigate: Follow a line path with various shapes, stop and signal braking when encountering an obstacle, then resume following the path once the obstacle is removed

You are required to individually submit a 3-minute video reflecting on your design process, teamwork and lessons learned. Discussion should address why following the engineering design process is (or is not) important, particularly if you were designing a self-driving car as a professional engineer.

Headers for Reflection

• Client Briefing
• Completing Design Challenges
• Prototype #1
• Testing and Bug Fixes
• Final Design
• Final Results
• Reflection on Team Effort (disperse throughout video)

Plan

• Client Briefing
• Evaluation of design/code was essential:
  • Refine messy code
  • Fix bugs
  • New ideas helped fix our code
    • Alternative turning code
