IN-CAR DISPLAY –
NAVIGATION

AUTOMOTIVE HMI

In this research-led design initiative, I focused on enhancing the in-car display navigation for electric vehicles in Germany.
The final design introduced features such as Spot Reservation, Charge Priority and a user interface that ensures drivers receive relevant information at the right moment for a safer & more intuitive experience.

The user interface has been designed with clarity and minimalism in mind, to reduce cognitive load while driving.

Key metrics are grouped together on the left, visually separated from the 3D navigation area to avoid information overload. This supports the UX principle of task separation, ensuring that the driver is not required to mentally go through unrelated data to access what is relevant in the moment.
