I went straight to wheelchair accessibility routing because it felt obvious, then realized halfway through I was basically describing a feature that already exists.
Start by framing the problem around specific user needs and accessibility gaps, then propose a prioritized set of features that balance impact and feasibility. Structure your answer by segmenting users with disabilities, identifying pain points, and aligning solutions with Google Maps' core value proposition and TikTok's product principles.
Pro tip: Demonstrate empathy by referencing real accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and mention how you'd measure success through metrics like task completion rate for users with disabilities, not just feature adoption.
Identify key disability groups (visual, auditory, motor, cognitive) and their specific challenges with Google Maps, such as navigation for wheelchair users or screen reader compatibility.
Analyze existing Google Maps features (e.g., voice guidance, street view) and highlight where they fall short for each segment, using examples like lack of detailed accessibility info for public transit.
Generate ideas like crowd-sourced accessibility ratings, customizable voice commands, or haptic feedback, then prioritize using an impact-effort matrix, focusing on high-impact, low-effort wins first.
Propose metrics such as increased usage by users with disabilities, reduced navigation errors, and improved satisfaction scores, and outline a phased rollout plan with quick wins and long-term bets.
Acknowledge potential challenges like data privacy, cost of implementation, and scalability, and suggest mitigation strategies such as partnerships with disability advocacy groups.
