To demonstrate that the preliminary design follows all system requirements and is feasible within resource, time, and time manufacturing constraints
To establish a foundation for moving forward with detailed design and prove that the design is ready to proceed
By this time, all architectures are final. This review will discuss the architectures and design options that were considered and explain why the final architecture was chosen over the other options
A rough prototype should exist in the form of CAD. This prototype should show what the car will look like. Parts do not have to be detailed; they can be placeholders in the general form they will take
At the end of PDR, why you chose the design and how you will implement it/proceed with it should be defined
