4. Problem and Solution

5. Problem The increasing technology in vehicles today unfortunately increases the amount of danger to drivers and passengers alike. “Driver distraction is a leading cause of crashes, although the exact figures are difficult to gage because of the unreliability of the data” [1].

6. Solution EcoCar User Interface – Allows car’s infotainment center to be controlled by voice – Helps lower the amount of attention needed to run modules on car
