Case study
Automaker wrangles massive amounts of data to deliver exceptional self-driving CX
A major automaker faced a persistent challenge in their autonomous program due to an overwhelming amount of real-world driving data generated by their self-driving vehicle fleet, which required highly trained engineers to spend weeks sorting through data for basic insights.
This disrupted program development, slowed progress, and led to crucial decisions being made based on opinions rather than data. Despite consulting with their IT department for a solution, the complexity of the data problem exceeded their experience and resources. As the production deadline loomed, the team was forced to prioritize urgent tasks, hindering their ability to approach the project strategically.
Valuable insights, data analysis precision, and answers to critical questions
To address their data challenges, the automaker enlisted Incite whose collaborative approach involved close engagement with the self-driving team. This resulted in a tailored analytics platform that efficiently processed and organized extensive road-testing data. The platform not only provided valuable insights, enhanced data analysis precision, and allowed the team to address critical questions but also played a pivotal role in fine-tuning engineering workflows, bug tracking, performance improvement, and root-cause analysis. Ultimately, it helped the automaker deliver their autonomous program on time while meeting safety requirements and customer experience expectations.
“Incite’s analytics tool has been incredibly helpful in developing every dimension of our self-driving product, from customer-facing challenges to safety-critical questions.”
