2 OUTLINE I will be explaining the reason why we as a nation will some day need to have every thing that can be automatic, be automatic. The United States has been called the laziest nation in the world for a reason.
3
3 MOTIVATION IM Lazy The United States as a whole is lazy and I wanted to be patriotic Simple and easy project (lazy) that will someday become standard
4
4 INTRODUCTION Everyday some one is out and about trying to invent the next Escalator or elevator, how many times have you gotten on an elevator and the guy in front of you presses the 2 nd floor button? We used to write friends letters now they just say twitter me!
5
5 PROBLEM STATEMENT There are many problems that is wrong with this project, the first being the idea that I would really use an automatic visor if my car had one.
6
PROBLEM STATEMENT cont. One problem that I ran into was that I forgot a lot of the things I learned in 253 and blew up 2 motors 2nd was space, first I had too big of a system, then I cut it down and didn’t have enough room on the board to get everything that I wanted. 6
7
Even More Problems Even after Vigs told me that I needed to have resistors to go with the leds that I placed on the board, I didn’t and blew about 6 before I seen what I was doing wrong! After I had everything how I wanted it I could not get the motors to stop when both buttons are pushed. 7
8
8 PROPOSED SOLUTION Some of the things that I did to counter act the problems that I was having was to go back and look up some papers that I had on 253 I checked out a few web sites to make sure I was remembering things correctly Used Vigs a lot, ( he's not so lazy)
9
PROPOSED SOLUTION cont. I did a lot of trail and error, a few days and 3 motors later it worked I moved a lot of things round 9
10
10 RESULTS The main result was that I finished the project and it worked very well If I could hid it better I probably would have kept it in my car. ( and used it)

InSide the car and some out 11

THE OPERATION 12

THE SECOND PART video 13
14
CONCLUSIONS This will come out on a luxury vehicle soon One day everything is going to be automatic 14
15
15 CONCLUSIONS cont. Some conclusions that I learned from the capstone project is when you think something is hard, just don’t do that do something easy Another conclusion is you forget a lot of things if you don’t use them a lot.
16
16 FUTURE WORK Possible extensions for this project is to have the visor come down automatically when the sun hits the windshield Voice activated will have to be the next step for some lazy person who doesn’t want to have to push anything at all
17
PROPOSAL I was approached at the beginning of the semester by some reps from Saturn and Daewoo to paten this idea and put it in all the new cars coming out in 2010 but were did away with by GM so I didn’t get paid!! 17
18
Just INFO Lexus has a car out that parks itself, so don’t think im stretching it when I say everything will be automatic 18

Thank You Shout out to my main man Vigs in the back Thank you for listening 19
