Wouldn’t it be great if your self-driving car could pick you up after class? By linking a car with a smartphone, you create new possibilities such as responding to pedestrians, visualizing situations and smart planning.

Almost all of them are software engineers working at big companies, but there is a lot of room for creativity and Honors Academy students really get treated like equals.
