Over the coming months DG Cities will be conducting more user research as part of Project Endeavour which will look even closer at the attitudes and perceptions of the general public towards autonomous vehicles. In this blog we will explore some of the gaps we’ve identified from a literature review of academic research, and outline what’s next for Project Endeavour.
As part of Project Endeavour, DG Cities conducted an online survey with members of the public to understand their views on AVs and AV Ride-Sharing Services. We’re pleased to share the results of this survey in our Public Attitudes and Perceptions of Autonomous Vehicles and Ride-Sharing Report. This report provides a pre-COVID19 baseline of data which will enable Project Endeavour to map changing trends over time.
As a researcher the opportunity to work on truly innovative projects is too good to pass up. And from my first few weeks with the DG Cities family (that’s exactly what the wonderful team is like) I’ve already been immersed in some exciting, challenging and potentially transformational projects. Projects which will not only help to bring the newest technology into the hands of citizens, but will also work to make the cities in which they live cleaner, greener, and more liveable for generations to come.
