Description:
We address a situation here where multiple cars are driving as a group to several destinations. This for example happens when several families go in more than one cars for sight seeing from, say Sydney, to Melbourne. It is possible (and indeed often the case) that one car C1 leads the group, and the other cars C2, C3, etc. follow the leader C1. One challenge that drivers in this scenario face is maintaining awareness about the group. What this means is that each driver would like to know where the other cars are, and he also wants all other drivers to know where he is. This is necessary because, often due to bad traffic (particularly in large cities), weather conditions, car breakdown, etc. the driver in a car, say C2, may find himself lost.

The objective in this project is to build a smart Assistant on a mobile phone that provides advises that will help the drivers manage the group. Using the smart Assistant, the group can dynamically change destinations, sight seeing places, decide to pull over during emergencies or to avoid "a fatal fatigue crash while driving".
