About the event
This session shares immersive findings from recent VR fieldwork, showing what automated transport feels like for real passengers with intersected accessibility needs. Through 360° scenarios and VR-based research, Dr Clare Mutzenich reveals the design cues, interaction challenges, and moments of uncertainty that shape trust, comfort, and safety in AV passenger transport.
Developers, local authorities, and operators will hear practical insights on:
common accessibility barriers uncovered in VR
what passengers need for clear, reassuring communication and a safe journey
the design and operational choices that make AV services truly inclusive
A concise, evidence-led look at how immersive methods can support better planning, procurement, and deployment of equitable automated mobility.
