I go off roading with my friends all the time. We call it ‘platooning’.

The Problem

Who we designed for

Who we designed for

Planning the adventure should not be harder than the adventure.

Off-road groups currently coordinate through disconnected texts, maps, calls, and vehicle systems. Plans become fragmented before departure, and maintaining awareness while driving introduces additional distraction.

The social adventure

driver

A technology-comfortable truck owner who regularly travels with friends and wants the vehicle to support the group not become another system they must manage.

Goal

Keep the group coordinated throughout the trip.

Current friction

Planning, route changes, vehicle separation, communication, and shared media happen across disconnected tools.

Truck Chosen:

Silverado EV Trail Boss

Real-time feedback
Pitch, roll, torque + tire data
Competitive takeaway
Rivian combines drive-mode controls and relevant vehicle feedback in one contextual interface, reducing the need to coordinate between separate controls and screens.

Information hierarchy
Key data near driver sightline
Task separation
Pilot Panel for quick controls
Competitive takeaway
Lucid separates glanceable driving information from secondary interactions, creating a clearer hierarchy and reducing eye movement. The main display sits near the driver’s line of sight, while the lower Pilot Panel provides quick-access controls.

The Hummer pairs tactile mode controls with immediate on-screen confirmation and underbody camera views, helping drivers understand vehicle state and wheel placement without relying on abstract icons alone.

Before the drive

One shared plan instead of six scattered conversations.

Plan the route, align on a meeting point, invite drivers, and confirm vehicle readiness before anyone gets behind the wheel.
