Ethical and Environmental Impact Analysis Team 12: Android Street Car Libo Dong
Main features • Android device controlled vehicle that can move on 4 wheels and use 360 degree camera to take photos. • Relatively medium size: 3lbs Aluminum chassis • Ultrasonic : cut off control when about to collide.
Ethical Issues • Misuses: can be used as a spy tool to valiance people without notice. Taking photos without consent. • Safety: can do physical damage to human being due to high speed/ sharp angles. • high capacity battery: 300maH/highly flammable/ explosive if circuit are shorted.
Solution • Set user password for the vehicle for safety issues. • Use red LED to indicate that a photo is taken • Use ultrasonic sensor to detect collision and avoid • Foamed packaging • Current-limiting sensor
Environmental Issues • PCB/circuitry waste: PCB contain multiple elements that could contaminate water. NiMh batteries - harmful to the environment • High power consumption
Solutions • PCB/circuitry waste: Using smaller PCB size, ROHS compliance Recycling batteries Reuse components • Use high efficiency parts
