menschINbewegung – Teilvorhaben: Akzeptanz automatisierten Fahrens/Subproject: Acceptance of automated driving

Projektbeschreibung

Automated driving will play a crucial role in future mobility. Since 2016, Ingolstadt is one of only seven German model regions, where automated driving is tested in daily traffic. In an interdisciplinary transfer project (engineering, psychology), chances and risks of this emerging technology will be explored and critically investigated. Specific project goals are to study conditions for societal acceptance, and to improve acceptance and understanding of this technology via outreach and dialogue activities. To this end, a roadshow will be conducted using a mobile driving simulator, in which citizens will experience automated driving as well as the specific opportunities and limitations of this future technology. This setting will also be used to collect data on individual behavior, desires, user acceptance and system trust. The project results will help to support local companies in advancing automated driving and to strengthen Germany as a lead market for automated and connected driving.
