Besides helping to validate the self-driving concept, this system could also serveas an excellent educational tool in university programs. The system is designed to allow theimplementation of complex driving scenarios at a high abstraction level by designers with nohardware experience. The goal is to raise the

Sphere {1,1}Spheres enclose the most volume with the least surface. Conceptual spheres areconstructed in a 3D virtual world by a half circle, rotated 360°. Non Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) are math, vector-based geometries that create, like the calculus,theoretically infinitively smooth surfaces. However, NURBS geometry is geodesicallytessellated or triangulated to calculate the digital render. Fuller’s (1960, pg 132) statesour Unity Sphere is a finite, geodesic, set of interconnected points (vertices): There is no phenomenon “solid matter” therefore there may not be a “solid” sphere, nor a “solid” surface sphere. All spheres consist of high frequency constellations of event-points, all of which are approximately equidistant from

Questions the students needed to answer included explain-ing why steam or water injection is recommended. The students will discover that—as a resultof the first law of thermodynamics—the same total power input is required for both options, butthe final questions challenge the students to consider the actual application. For example, studentsare asked to consider a retrofit to convert an existing steam injection system to a water injectionsystem and comment if the existing heater can be used. Students
