For my groups creative engineering design, after doing research we decided we wanted to find a way to eliminate the problem of distracted driving. From our research we found that the number one leading cause of distracted driving is from using your phone while driving.
We call our product "SiriDrive". We made a visual prototype with a 3D modeling program. "SiriDrive" is a new way to improve safe driving. Its voice activated and responds to whatever voice command you give it. After it recognizes the command, the stylus lowers and holds the home button down until Siri is activated. From there you can ask Siri to perform a task and it will play it back to you if you want. This gives you freedom to text and call people without even touching your phone, and that leads to being more alert on the road and safer driving.
Reflection Me, Ellie, Tony, and Brandon worked very well together. The work was well distributed. The boys worked on the 3D model while me and Ellie worked on the slideshow. I think one of the reasons this project went so smoothly was we spent a good amount of time researching which made the project go a lot smoother. Some days we would waste some time because we didn't have a device to work on so we could have improved that by finding something else to do in that time. We also could have rehearsed our presentation more to make it go smoother. Overall I think we worked very well together as a group and got a very good end product.
