The theme of this Hackathon competition was to utilise hardware, either Arduino or Google Home/Echo dot, to improve an existing process or just make something better. We decided to create an automated car crash notification system that senses when a driver has gotten into an accident and notifies the authorities as soon as possible. This makes it easier on 911 dispatchers who are given a location, and cuts out critical time between the accident, and the arrival of first responders.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
