Start by framing the real-time street-level imagery as a platform capability, then propose a product that solves a clear user pain point. Structure your answer around user segments, high-value use cases, a lean MVP, measurable success metrics, and proactive privacy safeguards. Show how you'd prioritize features and iterate based on data.
Pro tip: Anchor your product in a specific, high-frequency user need (e.g., delivery drivers finding parking) rather than a generic 'better maps' idea. Explicitly address privacy trade-offs and propose opt-in mechanisms to demonstrate product maturity.
Choose 1-2 primary user segments (e.g., urban commuters, delivery drivers, tourists) and articulate their specific frustrations with static maps. Validate that real-time imagery uniquely solves these problems.
Describe 2-3 high-impact use cases where real-time street view adds distinct value (e.g., checking live parking availability, avoiding crowded areas, verifying storefront hours). Prioritize based on frequency and urgency.
Outline the smallest feature set that delivers value: e.g., real-time view for a single city, limited to parking and traffic layers. Explain what you'd exclude initially and why.
Propose a mix of engagement (DAU, session length), task success (e.g., time to find parking), and business metrics (e.g., partner integrations). Include a north-star metric tied to user value.
Identify risks like incidental capture of individuals or sensitive locations. Propose mitigations: blurring faces/plates, opt-out requests, data retention limits, and transparent user controls.
