Problem

Problem Statement	Wired connections are located all through out the car, delivering power, sensor readings, and CAN communication. These connections have to be organized, protected, and efficient.
Goals	To efficiently install all electrical cables so they are easy to repair and maintain, and protected from environmental hazards.
Constraints Regulations	All wires must be rated to handle the current they will be carrying
Criteria

	Activity
Must have	All wires and connectors must be labelled at multiple levels (individually and in groups) - heat shrink labels? Basic level of EMI shielding (twisted wires) Minimize loop area for all high and medium current conductors (to minimize EMI) Careful cable management required Maintain accurate wiring diagrams of car Ensure everyone doing wiring knows what TPA (terminal positioning assurance) and ISL (independent secondary locking) are used for
Nice to have	Shielded cables for all sensitive and important communications (CAN, Kill switch, etc) Electrical verification to check if wires are plugged in - priority for important connections (all HV connections, kill switch, etc) Polarized and/or color coded connectors
