Problem Statement

Vehicle owners may not know how to react during unauthorized access or cyberattacks.

During a cyber incident, users are stressed, time is limited, and the wrong action can increase safety, privacy, or vehicle-control risk.

The UX must reduce confusion by making mitigation actions simple, visible, and effective.

UX Goal

Make emergency response fast, visible, and simple.

Fast

One-tap action to disconnect external systems immediately.

Visible

Emergency action remains prominent on the owner home screen.

Simple

Clear language, guided recovery, and recognizable status states.

Final UX Solution

Owner Mobile App

The owner app gives users control during suspicious access, malware activity, or abnormal connected-vehicle behavior.
