Inspiration

SixT Innovation of Robotaxi has brought our attention, because of our interest in self-driving cars. Some of us want to persue the AI in their masters with focus on self-driving technology. Unfortunetely since we are all Bachelors, we couldn't really get into that specific Topic. That is why we decided it would be the best to add our ideas of what could be a part of a robotaxi. First thoughts that we wanted to adress were some kind of substitute of driver as a person that could be talked to. We wanted to add the posibillity of enterntainment while driving or to be more specific while being driven.

What it does

Our app allows the customer to enjoy the ride beyond the self-driving car experience. It allows the user to comunicate with other people that are travelling with the Robotaxi or discover the city they are travelling through. We can imagine, that business representatives that are in town only for few hours, could use this possibility in order to get at least some facts about the city.

How we built it

Since we all learned Java at TUM we used it in addition of Spring Framework and MySQL database in order to create the Outline of what could be implemented in the Robotaxi.

Challenges we ran into

Unfortunetely although we wanted we couldn't implement a Videochat in time and had to switch a simple chat. Afterall for some of us it was first big project beyond the University.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that with not big experience we managed to implement most of the features we wanted.

What we learned

We've learned how to work in Team and under time stress. From the technical point of view every one of us learned something new. For Nensi Frontend was a new adventure Css and Html were new elements that she has never used before. For Stefan and Tadeusz BE and it's sync with FE in Spring were something new since they didn't really used it before.
