Our solution came from a rite of passage for the American teenager: the driver’s license test, which we made the premise of “Driver’s Test,” our short film.

Since we couldn’t show the A8 in full, we focused on witty dialogue based on the driver-assistance features that help Peter “drive” during his test.

To add humor, we engaged comedian J.B. Smoove as the foil and instructor, who was frustrated that the test was done by the driver-assistance features.

“Driver’s Test” is a 2-minute film that depicts the Spiderman hero Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, taking his driver's test as he turns 16. It was launched June 19, 2017, just ahead of the film’s release date later that month. “Driver’s Test” was launched with with paid and organic social support that expanded the Marvel Universe on Facebook, Twitter, and through the star’s native social profiles.

Executions included playful ads for the fictional "Wheel Teach Ya!" driving school, teasers of the Audi logo created with spider webs, and unique reactive posts where J.B. Smoove and Tom Holland responded to individual fans’ comments. “Driver’s Test” also ran in European theaters ahead of films.
