Agenda 1. Project Overview 2. Environmental Impact 3. Ethical Challenges 4. Q & A

PSSCs 1. An ability to track vehicle location using GPS. 2. An ability to receive and send CAN messages from and to other systems in the car. 3. An ability to display graphics on the LCD display. 4. An ability to respond to user input from a touchscreen. 5. An ability to store and load data to and from non- volatile memory.

Environmental Impact Manufacturing PCB Corrosive chemicals in photoresist stripping Dyes and solvents IC’s – Many hazardous chemicals (Acetone, Cadmium, HCL, etc.) LCD touchscreen Nitrogen trifluoride Indium tin oxide (ITO) Normal use – ~3W power consumption Disposal Hazardous metals and volatile gases Recycling at (CEA) Potential reuse in future solar car

Ethical Challenges Driver safety Thorough testing Sending/receiving CAN messages Touchscreen precision with gloves while driving Brightness in sunlight Audio/visual warnings Vehicle diagnostic alerts (via CAN) Notification of internal errors/failures Redundancy Detailed documentation
