+This repo is the code "implementation" of a project for Software Dev I. As a project, a self-driving vehicle was chosen. The project was then developed through design documents and UML diagrams, before being finally implemented in a framework form to demonstrate the working of carious classes and routines. As such, the "SelfDrivingRoadtrip" class serves as the controlling class to simulate the vehicle navigating a basic "route" with a variety of road and weather conditions between two predetermined points and outputting status data.
+
+In this form, the project simply serves as a Java code sample.
