Supporting People with Vision Impairments in Automated Vehicles: Challenges and Opportunities |
摘要: |
Autonomous and automated vehicles (AVs) will provide many opportunities for mobility and independence for people with vision impairments (PwVI). This project will provide insights on the challenges and potential barriers to their adoption of AVs. We will examine adoption and use of ridesharing services, which are similar means of single-rider transportation for PwVI, by conducting observations and interviews. Also, we will investigate social receptiveness of sighted people and PwVI towards the use of AVs through focus groups. From these studies, we will be able to provide recommendations to AV manufacturers and suppliers for how to best design vehicles and interactive systems that mitigate barriers that PwVI face. |
