Project Overview
Otto is an in-car voice assistant that combines vehicle control, navigation, and predictive support to improve safety and reduce driver distraction.
Team Project
Team Members: Athena Wu, Ashely Hu, Cynthia Du
My role: I focused on building the interactive prototype in Protopie, enabling the voice assistant flows and demonstrating how Otto would work in real driving scenarios.
Problem
Current systems like CarPlay and Tesla VUI lack proactive features, often overwhelming drivers with unclear prompts and limited decision support.
Solution
Otto offers proactive fuel and parking assistance, clear multi-step commands, and minimalist voice prompts that lower cognitive load and build trust.
Target Audience
Urban drivers and commuters who need safe, efficient, and hands-free support while navigating complex driving environments.
