Challenge
Only Level 3 autonomous vehicles require the driver to retake control during a handover, a moment that often involves delayed reaction, stress, and significant safety risks. However, existing systems lack real-time, intuitive support to guide drivers through this critical transition.
Objective
Challenge
The goal was to design a comprehensive UX solution for Level 3 control transitions by identifying key scenarios based on real driving data, and applying LLM-powered AI guidance with multisensory feedback to reduce driver anxiety and improve response time.

Result
The system, optimized for six real-world scenarios, reduced driver anxiety by 72%, improved reaction time by 2.7 seconds, increased safety by 87%, and achieved a user satisfaction score of 4.8/5 in internal testing.

"Yeah, in Level 3 autonomy, the transition is both critical and risky. I think proper guidance and alerts are essential—but current systems mostly rely on one-way alerts, which isn’t enough."
Expert : Jason (Mercedes project dev. PM)
"I think autonomous driving is an incredibly exciting technology, but without the right transition guidance, it can also be extremely dangerous."
