Repeat Offenders
Some states only allow a defensive driving course to be taken, for insurance relief, a limited amount of times. Why not get as much as you can out of them as possible?

Introducing The Defensive Driver
Driving data recording Data storage Real-time driving tips Report generation Violation detection
10/20/2009
CS410 Green Team 18
Our Intended Implementation Make the Defensive Driver an
integral part of the current driving syllabus by:
Requiring a minimum number of recorded driving hours
Required minimum good driving habit percentage
Actively remind inexperienced drivers of good habits

How Feasible Is It?
All of the hardware needed is currently available via COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf) components
The software component will have to be designed and implemented
Laws will have to be changed

Feasibility Problems
Having product accepted as a mandatory driving instruction component Largest problem currently
The hardware components will have to be married together in a specific way Very technical and complex
Software will be complex Will take a while to get right

Legal Issues
Issues on a similar product, the “Black Box”:States have different interpretations of
Who owns information collected by black boxes
When a court order is required to collect black box data
Whether drivers need to be informed if the vehicle they are buying has a black box
