The Original Idea
Redefining KITT
Questions • What is the main message or goal of the product?
• How does KITT work categorically? • How can the services be trimmed down to fit the overall message?
1st try... (six categories) automation customization connection efficiency security direction
2nd try... (down to four categories) connection efficiency security direction
Competition (Delphi and Connect2Car) COMPETITION ISSUES - Neither one supported by any established platform - Have to buy extra equipment and software, and have to deal with difficult/confusing interfaces (connect2car) - Antiquated and unapproved interfaces - Only limited to car’s current Bluetooth/key fob technology
OTHER ISSUES - Security issues with Bluetooth capability; Reach of Bluetooth not that far; only 25-55 feet - What is the need for a “remote” when it’s already achievable through technology that some auto dealers already have
What am I really trying to communicate? 1. Vehicles today are like second home and people are looking for more ways to customize and control that experience. 2. With people being on the go more and cell phones being as common to have as your keys, there is an opportunity to use the technology in phones along with the accessible technology in cars to use your mobile phone almost as your “second set of keys� (and more)

security
Allows the user to operate and control the basic external features and functions of their car through the KITT mobile application.
Every consumer is concerned with security when it comes to their car. KITT provides a way not only for consumers to manage that security but also to be notified immediately if any adverse activity is happening in or around their car. The ViewCam functionality is also effective for parents who would like to manage driving habits of teenagers.
Seat Configuration
With issues such as Global Warming at the helm and with gas prices increasingly going through the roof, consumers are looking to find ways to utilize their vehicles in a more efficient manner. Part of accomplishing that goal is to make sure your car is in its best functioning capacity which in turn will keep emissions under control. The problem is consumers today don’t have time to efficiently monitor that on a daily basis and now KITT provides them with that information right on their mobile phone.
