Product design question

If Google wanted to expand Google Maps into indoor navigation for malls and airports, how would you prioritize the features?

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Prioritization for a technically complex expansion, sequencing features based on core value and technical feasibility.

Define the core user need indoors, reliable turn by turn navigation without GPS, which works outdoors but fails inside buildings.
Prioritize the foundational capability first, accurate indoor positioning using WiFi or Bluetooth beacons, before any feature layer.
Sequence next features, like store or gate level search and points of interest, once positioning is reliable.
Defer lower priority features, like personalized recommendations or AR overlays, until the core navigation experience is solid.
Define a success metric, such as indoor route completion rate or reduction in users getting lost, measured through support contacts or session behavior.

Sequences positioning accuracy as the true foundation, recognizing that no feature works without reliable indoor location first.
Explicitly defers flashier features, like AR navigation, until the core capability is proven, showing prioritization discipline.
Names a concrete success metric, like completion rate for indoor routes, that reflects the real user problem being solved.

Prioritizing flashy features like AR overlays before solving the harder, foundational positioning problem.
Ignoring how partnerships with mall and airport operators are needed to get accurate indoor maps.
