Inspiration
Many of our family members back in India try to buy a car which causes less pollution but end up buying a car without looking into it as they have no resources to directly look into it and they also don’t have the time to research it themselves. This is a wasted opportunity since even a small step taken makes a large difference in the long run.
What it does
Sustainable McQueen has a list of Vehicles along with the rates of Carbon Dioxide emissions and the prices so that people can take both of the important factors into consideration. Our platform also provides the opportunity to compare cars to give a better understanding of the differences.
How we built it
We mainly utilized HTML, CSS, and its components to build the application.
Challenges we ran into
Finding the CO2 emissions per vehicle in our sample data set was a bit challenging in the beginning since we had to research a lot and convert values to a standardized unit to make it easier for end-user comparison. Also, sleep.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We’re proud of the fact that we could come up with an idea that could help people take a step towards sustainability. With global warming’s increasing threats, everyone should try their best to be as sustainable as possible.
What we learned
We learned how to effectively divide tasks among team members and learned that communication is key!
What's next for Sustainable McQueen
Sleep. After that, we plan on utilizing Catalog and delivery APIs to create a one-stop shop where end users can not only make a decision but also take the decision. Furthermore, we wish to add other ways cars affect the environment into consideration. Adding a price filter along with an emission filter, which can allow users to search for an optimum solution that is not only sustainable but also within their budget.
