Driving UX for Future Dashboards

As part of my internship at TalkD, I worked on a fast-paced UI/UX project for Verolt — a forward-thinking automotive company. The task was to conceptualize and design a digital instrument cluster interface that aligned with emerging trends in automotive UX. The objective was to reimagine the driving experience across multiple modes using high-contrast visuals, minimal cognitive load, and modular layouts adaptable to different user needs.

Challenge

Discover

Designing a digital car cluster UI that is aesthetically modern and highly functional at a glance delivers real-time data like speed, tyre pressure, and navigation without overwhelming the driver. The system had to support multiple driving modes (Eco, Sport, Assistive, etc.) and convey vehicle alerts and infotainment seamlessly, distraction-freely.

Results

Our Approach

The final mockups were compiled into a client-ready presentation deck, showcasing layout logic, interaction transitions, and design consistency across states. We emphasized modularity so components could scale or adapt to different vehicle types or screens.

The Approach

1. Research & Benchmarking

We began with a competitive analysis of existing digital cluster systems — studying brands like Tesla, BMW, and Hyundai. This gave us a clear sense of what works, what feels outdated, and where innovation is possible.

2. UI Architecture Planning

We broke down the cluster into key user flows and visual zones — speedometers, warning indicators, infotainment displays, and real-time assistive feedback. These were prioritized according to driving context.

3. Visual Design & Mockups

I designed screens for specific driving modes including:

  • Lane Assist

  • Parking & Reverse Assist

  • Charging Mode

  • Sports Mode

  • Tyre Pressure & Engine Warnings

  • Neutral/Startup States

The goal was to maintain a clean, minimal interface with high readability and intuit

Conclusion

The final outcome was a set of sleek, user-focused UI screens that reflected Verolt’s design ambition: a next-gen, intelligent dashboard system for modern vehicles. It successfully balanced simplicity with utility, and set the foundation for a scalable design system in their cockpit interface roadmap.

This project sharpened my ability to move fast, collaborate under pressure, and design within the tight constraints of an automotive interface — where every pixel counts, and every decision impacts safety and clarity.
