11. A Day in the Life of a User Vehicle start-up: system greets, updates, and informs During travel: ➔ Voice commands for ◆ Applications ◆ Navigation ◆ Music ◆ Vehicle Systems ◆ Internet Search ◆ Etc.

12. A Day in the Life of a User Fully customizable: ➔ Language ➔ Appearance ➔ Tone (voice) ➔ Start-up settings ➔ Updates ● Can be put into sleep mode ● Alerts for vehicle problems or maintenance ● Vehicle Systems

13. Life Cycle Assessment Planning/Design: Labor-Teams for software/hardware and housing 3-5 year design time Prototyping- High cost and time variability Use: Maintenance-Software updates via download, hardware fixes at dealership/mechanic Sustainability/Duration-Should last for life of car, updates may not be supported after warranty is up

14. Life Cycle Assessment Recycling: Materials- No hazardous materials No reuse value Cannot be uninstalled and reinstalled Cost- Included in car recycling costs

15. Economic Viability Cost: approx. $3,000 (retail mark-up) After the car is purchased, the only other cost from the system would be data service charges Could be produced for well under $3000 due to existing components in the vehicle Profitable Customer interest and satisfaction
