THE NEXUS SHUTTLE |
THE NEXUS APP |
This is a Nexus Shuttle designed at Saic Motors Innovation and Research Center in the summer of 2018. Finally since it's public launch at UC Davis, I get to talk about some of the design challenges. I had the honor of working with a team designed a fully autonomous electric shuttle that can drive up to a 60 mile range. My role was unique as I had to act as the architect, the principle designer, the UX researcher and visual designer. I was tasked with creating the vision as well as lead a team to develop the partner app with this beautiful creation. The designer of this shuttle is named Kai Yang. He wanted to create something futuristic and friendly yet classy and elegant. My vision needed to reflect that beauty.

My app had to capture the look so that anyone who had the app could instantly tell these two products had been cut from the same cloth. I wanted the GPS map to have the same contrasting shades between black and white though I was fearful it would become too close to looking like Uber.
I solved this by accenting the routes with bold colors influenced by the NYC metro graphics using colors like blue, yellow, orange, red, magenta to indicate various routes. |
