Explore & understand
The automotive industry has gone through an epic disruption with challenges galore. Autonomous driving, the sharing economy, and electric motorization require us to renew our understanding of car users and their needs.
Autonomous driving creates completely new user groups (passengers, pedestrians etc.) with new needs towards entertainment, functionalities, and communication.
Inform your new concepts by early user research data to understand how your products can better face future challenges and needs.
Understand and compare competitor features to learn what works and what not.
Research tools we use:
Ethnography
Contextual inquiry
Concept assessments
Focus groups
Comparative usability testing
Design & iterate
Outsource the building of functional test prototypes that work in connection with driving simulator software (i.e. for change lane tasks).
Test low fidelity prototypes and concepts in a lab-based setting for a quick and cost efficient turnaround.
Test your car’s holistic user experience in the only realistic setting – the road.
Run your static UX test right at our location and make use of these logistic advantages for observers, participants and tech setup.
Research tools we use:
Prototyping
Rapid iterative testing (RITE)
Usability / UX testing
Expert review
Card sorting & tree testing
UX clinics
