An Electric Emotion Sensor Car
An electric car that operates based on your mental health status.
This car will be built with several healthcare equipment like Electroencephalogram detection device and an intoxicant detection device. This car will operate using machine learning and the autonomous system. If any of those two devices detect some abnormalities in the internal system of the driver, the car will stop and then activates its self-driving mode for the car to park on the safe side of the road. The self-driving was included to avoid accident or commotion when it stops. Once those two systems detect stability in the human system, it shifts from self-driving mode to manual driving, then the driver takes control of it. In addition, I also want to test a different kind of electric generating system to power this car. I want this car to be powered by static electricity which is enormous during the winter season in our surroundings. To achieve this, we need to built a device that attracts static electricity using the electromagnetic induction, stores and transfer the electricity to the battery to power the car.
This idea is trying to help improve our mental health and reduce road accidents. According to WHO, more than 90% of road traffic deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. Road traffic injury death rates are highest in the African region. It is so rampant in my community and I was a victim. Most of the accidents were caused by drivers' recklessness which led to severe injuries and lost of lives and property.
The world needs this idea because if this car is built. It will help combat road accident. If countries all over the world accept only the operation of this car, it will help reduce the consumption rate of any kind of intoxicants. If the static electricity could power the car, it could light the world and become a sustainable way of generating electricity.
From my research, it's a fresh idea. The only thing I had done is to find an online class to get the required knowledge for this idea. Then, I found it on Udacity but it is a paid class that requires up to $7000 to get all the knowledge to build this innovation.
- Other: Addressing an unmet social, environmental, or economic need not covered in the four dimensions above
Using static electricity as source of power for car. Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. Static electricity causes explosion near a volatile material and shock. Human little actions could generate thousands of volts of static electricity which could cause severe damages to the object that produces it.
- Concept: An idea being explored for its feasibility to build a product, service, or business model based on that idea
It was an idea I had after watching a documentary on car. I'm still making more research on how the idea will grow into a finished product
- A new use of an existing technology (e.g. application to a new problem or in a new location)
It uses machine learning, sensor system and C++ programming. It basically uses reinforcement learning (the algorithm figures out which actions to take in a situation to maximize a reward (in the form of a number) on the way to reaching a specific goal) when it is operating in its self-driving mode. The censor system helps the biological technology detects any abnormalities in the internal system of the driver

- Nigeria
We plan serve over 200 million people living in Nigeria.
Design a new electric car power system, reduce road accidents in Nigeria, get people conscious about their mental health status. We plan on achieving these by producing more car with this idea and making it affordable for the low-income class who are vulnerable to the effect of the issue we want to combat with this idea
The best indicator is seeing that government of all nations approve the car as the only operating car in their countries.
i haven't started the require classes on Udacity to gain the knowledge due to financial circumstances. It is still a one-man idea without a team.
I don't have a team yet and I haven't been able to get the required skills due to unavailable finances.
I don't have that as at now.
- No
- Yes
It is an idea that could the world and the world needs it now. Some other innovation could be initiated from this idea. The price could be use to gain the required skill in two years and get the startup done.
