Sustainable Networking Activity

Problem & Solution: 

The problem my group and I discussed was the impact Drunk Driving has on America. Clearly, it plays an extremely negative role in our world. Our goal was to prevent drunk driving, and hopefully save lives in the process. The solution we presented is an app. The goal is to team up with Uber and eventually have the app be automatically incorporated into your iPhone or android when you go to purchase it.

How app works:

Push notifications will be sent to you if your phone picks up irregular movement when you are 10-15 feet from your car between the hours of 10pm-3am Fri-Sun. We decided the push notification should ask "Do you need an Uber?" and you will then have the option to say YES/NO. Whether you pick yes or no, it will ask one more question confirming if you are sure. I thought adding the "are you sure" feature would be beneficial and decrease miscommunication. If you select Yes, an Uber driver will be notified and be there to assist you safely home within minutes. (We picked those days and hours because that is generally when the most drunk driving takes place)
