Scope & brief of project
What we did ?
01
Analysis

Understanding when and how develop a virtual travel assistant that makes driving much more comfortable by providing relevant information.

Use cases

Whether it's recommendations for free parking spaces or cheap gas stations, warnings about tire pressure loss or impending severe weather, individual sports news or tips for cultural events - the eTravel.Companion speaks up proactively.

04
Embedded

To offer great opportunities as a tool for customer loyalty, for identification with a brand.Such new worlds of experience in the vehicle will be an important differentiator in the future.

03
Mobile app

The eTravel.Companion is linked to the smartphone and thus to the user, not to a single automobile. This means that all service benefits can also be used in different vehicles - a major advantage when car-sharing or booking a rental car, for example.

Enter Destination
Thanks to artificially intelligent algorithms. The voice-based eTravel.Companion initiates every communication itself - and only if it offers real added value for a smooth trip. In practical terms, this looks like this, for example: In the car, the music of a playlist stored in the smartphone plays while the navigation device guides the vehicle to its destination. The eTravel.Companion briefly dims the music and announces services.

Creation of the userflow
To make sure that the application is easy to use and practical, each step and screen that the user looks at needs to have a purpose and to be understandable quickly.
Integrated into infotainment systems
The driver's interaction with his car becomes even more intuitive and convenient. Because this is absolutely necessary: The flow of information into the car is constantly increasing. Drivers are  confronted with more and more indications from the cockpit instruments or information from the infotainment systems.

The system is constantly learning and can offer individually tailored support for many facets of travel. Another innovation: The voice-based eTravel.Companion initiates every communication itself - and only if it offers real added value for a smooth trip.

The eTravel.Companion is an evolutionary step in the design of human-machine interfaces, of HMI solutions. These human-machine interfaces determine how drivers and vehicles communicate.
