RationaleFocused on improving the connection of the car

Advances in technology Connection may also help with safety

Distracted driving is leading cause of car accidents “An estimated 421,000 people were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver, this

was a nine percent increase from the estimated 387,000 people injured in 2011” http://www.distraction.gov/content/get-the-facts/facts-and-statistics.html

Two main focus points: Improve the way the customer can interact with car Improve the way car interacts with itself as well as cars around it

Be novel in idea

Concept Generation and SelectionUsed techniques of brainstorming and morphological table

Came up with many ways to interact with the software Brainstormed attributes of software as well as functionality

with the rest of the car Program graphical user interface (GUI) look and function

Screened concepts using technique of like/dislike Primarily used on software attributes and GUI

Functions that can be applied to all forms of concepts

Selected product using pugh chart Used for the interaction between customer and vehicle

Life Cycle AssessmentThere are four major stages in the LCA of a motor vehicle:(i) Development: assessment of materials and semi-finished product manufacturing chains (ii) Production: assessment of components and complete vehicles(iii) Use: assessment of fuel/electricity (including production)(iv) Recycle: assessment of process chains of valuable materials

Life Cycle AssessmentWhile doing the life cycle analysis we looked at :1. Development: Use of a steel body compared to aluminum since its more

easily recycled and emitted less CO2, use of hydrogen fuel cells (expensive but more environmental friendly)

2. Cost: The technology as has been discussed in the previous slides came about to a total of $1487.

3. Recycling: recycling steel is almost 74% more efficient as compared to aluminum. The use of the technology will be powered using hydrogen fuel cells which are more environmental and recycle friendly as compared to

4. Durability: Both eye tracking and voice recognition last a really long time making them reliable as well as economical

5. Redundancy: The use of a hybrid of eye tracking, voice recognition and buttons using hydrogen fuel cells, this amalgamation is in fact pretty new, and will take a while before it is deemed as redundant. In addition, software updates would also be made available for the customer to make.
