Project Information
|
|
Less the 18% of Americans today have the knowledge
to operate a vehicle with an automatic
transmission. This is due partly to a decline in
the production of such vehicles but mostly due to
the difficulty and inconvenience of learning. The
choices are to either buy an expensive simulator
that doesn't quite feel like driving or to learn
using someone else's car. The latter isn't always
an option because relatively few people own a
standard vehicle and are willing to allow someone
to learn on it.
This project is aimed to provide a method for
people to achieve the safety of a simulator with
the experience of physically driving. The system
will read data directly from the vehicle and can
train users on when to engage the clutch and
shifter. It will then provide feedback on how well
the user performed. The challenge of not grinding
gears will no longer be a concern.
