Dennis Schaefer is an automotive UX designer with a portfolio spanning in-car infotainment, head-up displays, next-generation driver dashboards, and the operator interfaces where autonomy and human control intersect.

In-car infotainment design

Multi-modal systems combine navigation, media, passenger profiles, and driver assistance into cohesive, glanceable interfaces.

Head-up display and steering wheel integration

HUD concepts surface navigation, speed, and safety alerts in the driver's natural field of view.

Next-generation driver dashboard

Instrument clusters, ambient lighting, icon systems, and interaction rules form one coherent cockpit language.

Autonomous vehicle operator interfaces

At Zoox, Dennis led tele-operation and fleet-management HMI for a purpose-built autonomous robotaxi.

Real-time 3D automotive visualization

Interactive installations and product visualisations communicate complex vehicle technology spatially and in real time.
