Car for youngs is dedicated to inexperienced, young drivers.
The car is not only helpful, smart car, but also a tutor who teaches and points out the mistakes. Through a smartphone connection, it records the development path.
The car learns with its driver. Following the mounted development it switches off hints of the drive.
what are the problems of young inexperienced driver?
As researches show individuals 15 to 20 years old make up 6.7 percent of the total driving population and are involved in 20 percent of all crashes and 14 percent of motor vehicle deaths. We wanted to design a car that could teach young drivers both: good habits and safe driving.
An inexperienced driver is often afraid of huge crossroads and traffic crowd.
Pedestrians and other road users terrified them as well as the question:
who has the right of way?
Another problem we observed was using the phone while driving and falling asleep.

what are the problems of driving courses?
not
individualised
orientated just
to pass the license, not teach driving
rare driving
in different weather conditions
They do not teach self-reliance
We designed a car which can teach young drivers how to drive car safety.
Contrary to the traditional driving course it follows individual needs and independence.
The driver is recognised based on built-in steering wheel facial-recognition technology.
Build-in sensors control the road's environment to counteract risky situations and shows tips and GPS track on the windshield.
During the time, analysing driver's progress, the car turns off the hints while driving and becomes traditional, not the self-driving car.
