Currently, there is no centralized way to learn about Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The lack of standardized names for ADAS features and too many choices and jargons used to describe ADAS are often overwhelming to ordinary drivers and make its capabilities abstruse.
Our project to build an online encyclopedia for ADAS aims to help drivers visualize what ADAS features currently exist, how they work, and how they compare to features in other cars.
In-depth documentation of the work process will be added soon!
We conducted a usability testing to gain insight on how users would navigate through our interface to perform their tasks. We prepared two user scenarios (Julia and Lindsay's task flow), shared our Figma prototype on Zoom, and asked participants to say what they would do with for each step via Wizard-of-Oz method. The participants' (N=6) age ranged from 20s to 50s, and the tests were completed over zoom. We were particularly interested in user's feedback on what tasks they most struggle with, what they are confused about, and general thoughts and feelings about their user experience.
Based on the initial user experience research and our findings from the usability testing, we created a final prototype that provides a centralized way for users to compare and learn about ADAS in different cars.
