Entry Description

We're building driver's ed where the car is the instructor. Traditional methods are broken: stressed parents, inconsistent feedback, not enough practice.
The car teaches through voice instruction via CarPlay, adapting to each student. Haptic feedback and audio prompts create real time coaching.
Every drive gets analyzed. The system tracks where students struggle and builds a complete progress picture.
We've gamified it. Students unlock harder challenges as they improve: highways, night driving, bad weather.
This is ambitious because we're replacing human instructors entirely.
