What Is a Pitch?
“An elevator pitch, elevator speech, or elevator statement is a short summary used to quickly and simply define a person, profession, product, service, organization or event and its
value proposition”Wikipedia

Today, I want to talk to you about a super cool app that I built. This app is called SafeDrive and it helps people stay awake while driving by using a sophisticated
eye tracking algorithm. It is developed using Objective C and uses OpenCV library
Good or Bad?
Terrible
Lack of sleep behind the wheels causes 50,000 accidents each year in Algeria, leaving more than 5,000 deaths. SafeDrive is an app that helps drivers drive safe
by monitoring their state and sending alerts in case of danger.
Good or Bad?
Bad
Last year, my father’s life nearly ended in a car accident. You know why? Because he was too exhausted that he slept on the wheel. Luckily he survived, but what
about the 5,000 lives that roads claim every year? Sleeping on the wheel is something that could happen to the best of us . This is why we thought of
SafeDrive, an app that constantly monitors you to make sure you are in your best shape to drive.
