""When I was driving home from Joshua Tree, I was stuck in traffic. I was like, 'Dude, what if we made a Google Maps type of app that utilized AI and had a camera in your car that analyzed the road, tells you what lane to be in to go the fastest and also be able to look at the traffic lights and tell you if this left arrow is red, then go straight, turn left at the next street.'""
""Probably twice a week, I'll call him, 'Yo, I have this idea,'" Spalding said of his conversations with Mirabal. "Ninety-nine percent of the time, we usually don't do anything about it. But it's throwing ideas out there and hopefully one is going to stick.""
Three starters from the Redondo Union High volleyball team, Tommy Spalding, Vaughan Flaherty, and Carter Mirabal, are set to attend MIT. Their admission is seen as an unprecedented achievement. The trio often brainstorm ideas, including a concept for an AI-driven traffic app. They also formed a band called 'Ratiohead,' parodying Radiohead, with Spalding as the vocalist, Mirabal on keyboard, and Flaherty on guitar. Their journey reflects a blend of academic excellence and creative pursuits.
