Year :
2017-2018
Industry :
Digital Health in Automotive
Client :
Mercedes Benz
Project Duration :
12 month
Problem :
After global OEMs failed to deliver Mercedes’ first autonomous Driver health monitoring & HMI, Mercedes came to LG’s small vehicle division. All LG senior engineers / managers had already failed, and with only one week left, the project landed on me as the youngest. At the time, LG faced 4,000 layoffs: many employees had just been transferred from our collapsed mobile division to automotive. All LG senior engineers / managers had already failed, and with only one week left, the project landed on me as the youngest.
Solution :
I rushed to used luxury car markets, manually disassembled 20+ vehicles and game devices, and interviewed every hidden expert across LG. Within five sleepless days, After five sleepless nights, I completed the product plan/prototype with the help of many hidden people. Mercedes was stunned and gradually expanded the solution from S class to C class: leading to $750M+ in annual recurring revenue for LG.
Challenge :
Because it was a very new technology project, many global companies had already failed, and we too faced the urgent challenge of completing it in just a few days without any existing data or prior knowledge: yet we had to succeed, as 4,000 jobs were on the line.
Summary :
When global OEMs failed to deliver driver health monitoring and HMI for Mercedes’ first autonomous driving program, Mercedes turned to LG’s small vehicle division.
At the time, LG was facing the crisis of 4,000 layoffs, with many employees having just been transferred from the collapsed mobile division to new automotive.
All senior engineers and managers at LG had already failed, and with only one week left, the project was assigned to me as the youngest member.
I rushed to used car markets, manually disassembled more than 20 vehicles and game devices, and interviewed every hidden expert within LG. After five sleepless nights, I completed the product plan and prototype with the support of many of these unsung contributors.
Mercedes was stunned and gradually expanded the solution from the S-Class to the C-Class, leading LG to generate more than $750M in annual recurring revenue.
