This team is developing a solution to combat muscle fatigue when driving. We're all affected by muscle fatigue when we drive, although the impacts are especially felt by those with movement limitations and those driving long distances. Losing sense and range of motion in your ankle is known to increase the chances of car accidents and potentially cause injuries like arthritis. By redesigning a car's acceleration pedal, a design that hasn't changed since 1916, this team hopes to make driving safer and more accessible for humans. Check back later to see our progress!
