NAVI is a conceptual app that reimagines future travel experiences by seamlessly integrating travel planning with autonomous vehicle journeys. The user interface is crafted for maximum intuitiveness, focusing on effortless interactions for all users. Empowered by AI technology, my aim is to create an app where users spend less time planning and more time experiencing their journey.
Problems ↘︎
Through extensive research and interviews, I identified four common pain points associated with road trips.
Adapting to Changes
Adapting to detours, closures, or weather changes is a main challenge in road trip planning.
Multiple Platforms
Using various apps and devices to plan a road trip can confuse and challenge travelers.
Boredom & Fatigue
Long drives can cause boredom, especially for passengers, diminishing trip enjoyment.
Route Planning
Choosing the best route with scenic views, rest stops, and detours can be challenging and stressful.

Features ↘︎
01
Quick and personalized itinerary creation
Users input their desired destination, dates, budget, and travel buddies, and the system generates an itinerary based on their preferences.
I use a card-like interface for a clear content and easy interactions. This approach makes it simpler for users to interact with itineraries and make informed decisions.
02
Organize reservations in one place
On the day of travel, users will find their reservations conveniently displayed on the home page. They can easily access their tickets or restaurant bookings, streamlining their travel experience.
03
Being flexible and adaptable to any changes.
Users can receive real-time traffic updates, with the system automatically adjusting their itineraries for them. If original plans don't work out, the app offers alternate options, ensuring a seamless and hassle-free travel experience.
04
Enjoy the experience of spontaneously exploring during road trip
Drawing from my own road trip experiences where unplanned moments were the most thrilling, I've designed my app to capture this excitement.
It alerts users to interesting sights they pass by, encouraging spontaneous exploration and enriching their journey with unexpected discoveries.
Smart Device Integration ↘︎
NAVI integrated with autonomous car & smart goggles for a seamless, unforgettable journey. This combination of advanced technology enhances the travel experience, offering convenience and unique, immersive exploration.
