Autonomous Braking System

Formula Electric @ Berkeley

Designed and built a pneumatic brake booster to be put in parallel to brake circuit and thus unlocking autonomous braking. Didn't work too well.

If I were to run it back I would just add another circuit on top of the main driver actuated one.
