Project Title: Car Safety Comparison between Country Manufacturers
Description: Looking at the comparisons of safety reports of various vehicle manufacturers across a few key countries. Key Countries: USA, Germany, Japan, India Key Manufacturers: Tesla
Hypothesis: H0 = There is no difference in safety standards and results across countries. H1 = There is a statistically observable difference in safety standards and results across countries. H2 = Germany has statistically observable better safety standards and results compared to the other studied countries. H3 = Japan has statistically observable better safety standards and results compared to the other studied countries. H4 = USA has statistically observable better safety standards and results compared to the other studied countries.
Data: Car Safety Data (source pending, NHTSA) IIHS API - https://api.iihs.org/ NHTSA API - https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/api https://webapi.nhtsa.gov/Default.aspx?SafetyRatings/API/5
Initial Questions: Which countries have the safest cars? How do autonomous cars compare? Do some countries do certain vehicle types better? How does driver education affect crash/safety data in countries?
Techniques and Tools: Python, Pandas, JSON, Matplotlib
Data Shortcomings: Available Data Is there a standardized safety measurement standard? (USA vs Finland) Simulated vs Actual crashes comparison Speed Limit and infrastructure factors Manual vs Automatic Age limitations
