Summary
Defined the foundational in-car passenger experience for the Toyota LQ, an automated concept vehicle driven by an integrated AI agent (originally designed for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics fleet before COVID-19 shifted the world’s plans). Working closely with engineering to bring the vision from early prototypes to physical vehicle integration, I architected the multimodal interaction system—orchestrating the seamless interplay between voice UI, digital displays, ambient lighting, and spatial sound. By harmonizing these physical and digital touchpoints, I ensured the system communicated critical autonomous states without overwhelming the passenger with cognitive overload.
