The inquiry

How might a vehicle explain what it senses before a warning becomes a failure?

Story

An automotive intelligence instrument combining OBD-II data, a round display, inertial context, and conversational interpretation. The work is presented here as part of a living system rather than as an isolated product: its meaning comes from the people, practices, and neighboring works that make it useful.

The concept, name, display direction, and Bluetooth OBDLink path were identified.

Select a small set of trustworthy vehicle signals, build a read-only prototype, and define strict safety limits for interpretation.
