<h5>Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you what 7 weeks of digital fabrication has taught me</h5>

<br><br><h3><b>How</b></h3>
<h6>When the sensor detect a distance that is less than the allotted threashold, it signals the obstacle avoidance software to find a heuristic based approach for which path the car should take to avoid the obstacle.</h6>
<br><h3><b>Why</b></h3>
<h6>1.25 Million deaths occur worldwide every year due to road related accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are 17,000 car accidents in the U.S alone every day. Some new cars contain some systems like Forward Collision Warning or Automatic Emergency Braking. However, since it is not a federal requirement for cars to ship with previously said systems, without mentioning some of the older cars on the road, a lot of newly manufactured cars don't. It was quickly obvious to me that my project would involve finding a solution to such an underrated yet very important issue. When looking around the lab for possible final project ideas, I stumbled upon ultrasound sensors. HC-SR04 sensors use ultrasound to measure distance. Great thing about these? They're around 75¢ each! The whole completed project's obstacle avoidance system (with a better board) would cost about $50. The message is clear; If a 16-year-old can do it, a $2.7 Trillion industry with a limitless amount of brilliant engineers can do it on a bigger scale and at least help reduce the 1.25 Million tragic deaths that happen every year.</h6>
