Teddy’s typical drive to work starts from Espana Boulevard all the way to Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City. During inclement weather, he would drive through various streets of Manila, dodging floods and traffic, only to be stalled in a gridlock due to knee-high floodwater.

In times like this, Teddy wishes for off-the-shelf solutions to help him navigate through the floods and the traffic on the streets.

Luckily, science and technology might just be the solution to his problem.
