Self Driving Car Interface
This project involved thoroughly deconstructing existing self-driving car interfaces. It was essential to understand precisely what elements needed to be accessible to the driver to ensure usability and safety. The project mandated limiting the interface to a single screen. This design caters to users who prefer greater control over the appearance and arrangement.
UI Deconstructions
Tesla Model S
I deconstructed the interface of the Tesla Model S . This process helped me understand the setup of other interfaces, identifying what functions effectively and what doesn't. The interface exhibits both strengths and weaknesses, which played a significant role in influencing my design choices.
PROS
• Can easily access recent charge info
• Can Open doors with touch of a button
• Main Dash Design is intuitive
• A/C is easy to control
• Navigation easy to get to
CONS
• Navigation takes up majority of the screen
• No customization to Home screen
• Auto Pilot is buried deep within controls
• Music tab is a little bit busy
• No dark mode?

I wanted my interface to offer greater customization than the standard options. Thus, I decided to provide four homepage themes to choose from: default, music lover, focused driver, and socialite.
