U-Turn LED Light for school project Please Help
Hello, we are doing a group project for school. The task is to design a new safety product for an automobile. Our product is going to be a U-Turn LED Light that indicates to other drivers the intent to make a U-Turn. We need to find people that will answer the following questions so that we can better develop our product plan, and get an A in the class☺.
How many miles per week do you drive?
How many cars do you own?
Do you feel the need to better communicate your maneuvering intentions to other drivers when traveling on the road?
What information do you find yourself, as a driver, commonly lacking when trying to make decisions about the way in which you maneuver your vehicle?
When performing a U-turn maneuver in your automobile, do you ever find miscommunication with the perpendicular driver turning right on red?
When pausing on the road, for instance to let someone out of your vehicle at a shopping center or dealing with a situation in your car, do you utilize you hazard lights?
Do you currently utilize your turn signal when making a turn, U-turn, of changing lanes?

When making an aftermarket automobile accessory purchase what concerns come to your mind?
Have you every personally fixed something on your car such as replacing a headlight or taillight? Or would that be something you would pay a mechanic to do?
Do you feel that a U-turn signal is necessary?

What methods of production would be beneficial to bring this product to market?

Re: U-Turn LED Light for school project Please Help
I'll play.
How many miles per week do you drive?
Cost, function, ease of installation.
Have you every personally fixed something on your car such as replacing a headlight or taillight? Or would that be something you would pay a mechanic to do?
How will we compete with other car safety products?
How many miles per week do you drive?
Probably 150
How many cars do you own?1
Do you feel the need to better communicate your maneuvering intentions to other drivers when traveling on the road?No. Turn signals do their job -- that is, when people actually use them
What information do you find yourself, as a driver, commonly lacking when trying to make decisions about the way in which you maneuver your vehicle?Other driver's intentions
When performing a U-turn maneuver in your automobile, do you ever find miscommunication with the perpendicular driver turning right on red?Nope. If the driver turning right pays attention to the U-turner's speed and angle while going into the intersection, it's quite obvious.
When pausing on the road, for instance to let someone out of your vehicle at a shopping center or dealing with a situation in your car, do you utilize you hazard lights?Only if I intend to be parked for a considerable amount of time.
Do you currently utilize your turn signal when making a turn, U-turn, of changing lanes?Yes
When noticing an instance of road rage, what do you believe caused this instance, and how do you think it could have been prevented?Lack of patience. Be aware of your surroundings
When making an aftermarket automobile accessory purchase what concerns come to your mind?Cost, function, ease of installation.
Have you every personally fixed something on your car such as replacing a headlight or taillight? Or would that be something you would pay a mechanic to do?
I only trust 4 people to work on my car, myself being one of them.
Do you feel that a U-turn signal is necessary?Nope
One average how many times would you say you make a U-turn in a week?3-5
How much money would you spend on a U-turn signal?Exactly $0
Will this product benefit your needs and wants?Not at the least.
How would you market this product?I wouldn't. Any marketing of this product would come off like an infomecial. Quite frankly, infomercials do nothing but urge me to stay away from their gimmicky products
Can you improve this product?No. I find it quite unnecessary.
What is a common demand in the aftermarket automobile accessory market?Depends on your target market.
What would greatly impact the safety in driving? Describe in detail what that product would look like?How will we compete with other car safety products?
It'll probably come off as gimmicky. Some consumers may bite the bullet and try it out, but I believe if such a product was made, it wouldn't catch on and become mainstream. Case in point, a quick google search provided me with a patent filed for such a device -- filed in December of 1989. I don't see them on the road more than 26 years later.
How would you run this business?I wouldn't
What methods of production would be beneficial to bring this product to market?Don't do it.
Does your investment company have any relationships with current electronics manufacturing facilities?Nope
How much money do insurance companies pay for U-turn related traffic accidents?I don't feel like googling this.
Will we continue to update our product?That's up to you. I can't tell you what to do.
By reducing U-turn related traffic accidents by just 1 percent, how much money could be saved?Again, statistics that I don't feel like googling. Tens of dollars? I don't know.
How long of an investment are you willing to make before dividends are issued?None
Will market demand for this product influence your investment into this idea?Highly
What marketing strategies will allow our product to be successful?It's a lose-lose situation
