PROJECT SUMMARY
Seeing the Road Ahead
Focus Area: Transport & Mobilities
Research Program: People
Status: Completed
Vision is central to the field of autonomous vehicle (AV) research. While much of the research into AVs has focused on the technical aspects of vision, such as object recognition and sensor development, this project turns instead to its social, cultural, and political dimensions.
Our goal is to counter corporate and industry visions of self-driving cars by using creative methods to explore alternate visions.
These visions are drawn from Australian popular culture as well as through interactive, creative workshops with everyday Australian people. We hope that these methods help us to develop a uniquely national case study, and to demonstrate the value of using creative methods for understanding speculative and emerging technologies.
