Hello GTP, I need help simply :lol:
I have a project to undergo for my Technology and Design.

I would like to ask you guys for help on searching a problem. My topic is cars so Im looking for problems of cars that can be fixed. What need to be included at least is some electronics, hydraulics and programming etc


e.g.

Problem - Car gets stolen
Solution - Car alarm or tracker etc

I dont know much about car problems (dont even have one...so...)


Thanks for your time ;)
 
Problem: Lack of power.
Solution: Add a bigger V8! :dopey:

Dunno, man. Sounds like serious trouble. It all depends on your experience fixing stuff. Sure, I could tell you "Broken suspension. Fix it.", but what merit does that give me?

Typing that down as I type this :lol:

Looking for simple problems as I said for small solutions

Car jack automatic, automatic doors etc small easy stuff lol


I need one more problem... I still cant think of any...
 
Automatic hi-beam dimmer? It shouldn't be too hard for the car to sense headlights coming in the other direction, and turn off the brights...
 
Problem :Limiting a car to a certain speed
solution: taking out the Governor

Problem: Teens taking the car out for a spin

My windshield washer fluid always freezes in the winter. Fix that.

They don't sell proper washer fluid near you? I did a high school chemistry project on freezing points of various windshield washer fluid brands' freezing points. I found that out-of-the-bottle ethylene glycol doesn't solidify until -40C unless you dilute it even slightly. Your market must be getting the shaft from the guys at the bottling facility.
 
Automatic car-seat adjuster.

You sit down, it senses your weight and hydraulics move the seat forward-back depending on a weight pre-set in an electronic memory.

Not good for yo-yo dieters.

The Governor is suppose to limit people speeding.
Back ago, my dad had a suggestion of having a certain sensor to let cops know that your wearing a seat belt in the vehicle.
Problem: What do we do with the Battery of a Prius? Since we can recycle and reused conventional Batteries.
Solution: Venture more in actual Electronic cars.
Problem: How to stop Street Racing?
Solution: You can't though if you have more available tracks in a area then it will decline .

Problem= Can't hear the siren from Police, Ambulance or Fire-Truck.
Cause = Music is too loud. Wind blowing in wrong direction.
Solution= Factory fitted alarm and light mounted on dash, to warn driver that the vehicle is approaching, probably linked to GPS.
 
Problem: Speeding tickets.

Solution: (monochrome) liquid crystal panel in front of the license plate that automatically blots out the plate if you go over a certain speed. :D

---

Problem: rapid deflation of tire after puncture.

Solution: glue a fix-a-flat can to the rim inside the tire. Tire deflates, can is squeezed between steel rim and the ground, bursts open... instant re-inflation! :lol:
