Sber Automotive Technologies is company specializing in autonomous driving technologies, part of Sber, the largest IT corporation in Eastern Europe, serving over 100 million users across its ecosystem.
Objective: Develop a smart automotive platform capable of transforming any regular car into a connected vehicle using CAN bus integration. The pilot project focused on taxi and car-sharing services, with a long-term goal of integrating into Sber’s future autonomous vehicles.
Solution: I worked closely with the team to research, define, and design the core user experience for the in-car operating system. My key contributions included:
• Establishing design principles – created a scalable UI hierarchy, interaction guidelines, and UX patterns for in-car interfaces.
• Defining user flows – designed intuitive controls for navigation, climate, media, and seat heating to ensure seamless driver interactions.
• Multi-modal input system – developed touchscreen, voice, and physical button interactions to support different driving scenarios.
• Third-party app integration – built a developer-friendly UI framework for integrating external apps into the system.
Result: The project established a scalable design framework, ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience, while setting foundational principles for the system’s future development and expansion.
Turning any сar into a smart vehicle:
Step 1: Develop a controller to enable smart features in regular vehicles.
Step 2: Install the system onto the vehicle’s CAN bus for seamless control.
Step 3: Connect the onboard computer, unlocking voice commands, navigation, multimedia, and self-driving capabilities.
