Overview
The project is to create a network of at least two cars that can locate each other without user guidance. Using the open source platform of the Pi Car, we hope to add a serviceable extra module to integrate with existing functions of the current system. This module will consist of a transmitter and a receiver on respective cars, and the dynamic car will be able to interpret the signal in order to self-navigate to the location of a second car.
