Dr. TseHuai Wu, Professor of the Practice, and his students attended the Autonomous vehicle showcase held by MAGIC in Westminster. The team comprised Allison Dietz, Alexander Levanduski, Aidan Atkinson, Hamza Umar, and Mikee Ibayan presented InforMobile, the app they created for MAGIC's Hackathon.
InforMobile is a ridesharing safety app for autonomous vehicles. It's a brand new idea created by the students. MAGIC liked this concept a lot and decides to invite the team to the autonomous corridor showcase on May 20. It was a half-day event for autonomous vehicle tech companies exhibiting and demonstrating their systems. Students had a booth and presented their work there!
InforMobile is a ridesharing safety app for autonomous vehicles that helps riders feel comfortable and confident while riding in an autonomous vehicle with people that they don’t know. This app will allow users to request rides based on their needs, such as cargo space, accessibility, and even style. Riders immediately have access to information about the autonomous vehicle as well as those who would be riding with them, giving them the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the environment as well as the option to cancel their ride.
Congratulations to Dr. Wu and to our students!
