Formula Student Car Cockpit Design

This lecture covers the design process of a Formula Student car cockpit, focusing on innovations such as a larger battery for improved autonomy, 4-wheel drive for increased power and maneuverability, and a full monocoque chassis to reduce weight. The speakers detail their work on various cockpit components, from initial design using 3D modeling and feedback from previous drivers to structural simulations for optimized material layup. They discuss challenges faced when working with carbon fiber, the production process utilizing EPFL facilities, and the final step of assembling the components into the car for public display.
