From FridaV

* the design must use easily available and inexpensive components * the used components should be small and lightweight * power usage should be as low as possible to last trough a long ride * the drivers' interface should be minimal, comfortable, functional and fun * electronic components and wiring should not fail during a bumpy ride * the vehicle must be safe for the driver and other participants in traffic * clocks in all the recording equipment must be synchronized * aquired data and media should be transmitted from the vehicle wirelessly * found open access points could be used to upload and download data and media * all necessary software and must be available under a free or open-source license * recharging should be possible using a single power mains cable * should provide storage for chalk sticks and sponge in a practical container the V. in the name is also the roman numeral 5, hinting that it will probably take 5 attempts to build a FRIDA vehicle that satisfies all the set goals optimally. the name is also an obscure reference to [http://www.edvard-rusjan.it/link3slo.htm Eda V.] - a successful airplane built by slovenian flight pioneers [http://www.edvard-rusjan.it/ Rusjan brothers] in 1910.
