The 'not limited to cars' part is what tripped me up at first.
Start by clarifying the scope and goals with the interviewer, then choose a specific user segment and use case to focus your design. Develop a product concept that addresses the core parking pain points for that segment, and outline how you would measure success and iterate.
Pro tip: Show adaptability by acknowledging that 'parking' extends beyond cars—consider bikes, scooters, delivery vehicles, and even drones—and demonstrate how your solution could scale across modes. Also, tie your metrics to Meta's mission of connecting people and building community.
Ask questions to understand the interviewer's expectations: Are we focusing on a specific geography, user segment, or vehicle type? What are the key constraints (e.g., time, budget, technology)?
Select a specific user group (e.g., urban commuters, delivery drivers, event attendees) and identify their most pressing parking-related pain point (e.g., finding spots, paying, reserving).
Brainstorm potential features or product concepts that address the pain point, then prioritize based on impact and feasibility. Consider both digital and physical aspects.
Propose key metrics to measure the product's success, such as time saved, user satisfaction, adoption rate, or revenue. Align these with the company's goals.
Briefly describe how you would launch the product, acquire users, and iterate based on feedback. Mention potential partnerships or integrations.
