Smart Car - One stop for all Automobile needs

The automotive and autonomous vehicle industries have experienced rapid technological advancement. Along with the increase in vehicles on the road, driving safety concerns have also risen. Nowadays, adequate safety features are required for vehicles. The keyless entrance into the vehicle uses RFID cards. Security is boosted by the usage of biometric sensors. The fundamental concept behind a smart car is that we can use our fingerprints as a key to open our cars and that we can use IOT on our smartphone, PC, or other electronic device to monitor the security of our automobiles. The goal of this project is to create a working prototype for a smart vehicle system that, in the event of a crash, alerts the user’s family, the authorities, and provides the vehicle’s current location. For a passenger’s security, a panic button option is also present. Additionally, we demonstrate a system for monitoring the cabin and an interactive interface between a user and a vehicle that enables the user to remotely check on data such as temperature, humidity, altitude, air pressure, alcohol and smoke monitoring to prevent drunk driving, fuel monitoring and management system, and other data using a cloud service connected to an ESP8266 module. To optimize the smart car’s performance and boost throughput, three boards are used: a Raspberry Pi for livestreaming and processing, an Arduino for the car’s control system that interfaces with an RF receiver, and an ESP8266 module for sending sensor data to the cloud.
