The competition

Bring it on.

OUR CHALLENGE

UBER has finally switched to self-driving cars, and the result has been mayhem! Passengers are being ignored, missed, dropped off in the wrong location, even run over by the automated vehicles. Random people that are not passengers are being whisked off the streets and delivered to random destinations in the city! 
In the midst of this of this disaster, you and your engineering team has been asked to submit a bid to design a better autonomous vehicle. You are asked to build a working model of your automated car to demonstrate to UBER your design and your ability to operate successfully as an engineering firm. 
You’ll have to navigate a model city, find passengers whose beacons indicate that they are looking for a ride, pick them up and drop them off at a location marked by a destination beacon. The city has numerous stray animals – do NOT pick them up and give them rides – they tend to get rather upset!
