I&#x27;ve been (amazingly) assigned the task of designing and building an electric car. We&#x27;re not going to tackle going autonomous yet (complexity&#x2F;ethical issues).<p>We&#x27;re using an existing vehicle body&#x2F;chassis plus some well understood conversion kit components, but there&#x27;s still a lot of room to create interesting, special features using software (we&#x27;ve got a Raspberry Pi managing the non-drivetrain electronics and an iOS app for dashboard and non-mechanical control, etc).<p>There are so many cool things that can be done but I&#x27;m not smart enough to think of the best ones. Do you have any ideas?
