====Thursday, August 1, 2019: Where Did This $^@#$ Autonomous Car Learn to Drive? Addressing Cross-cultural differences in Autonomous Car Design==== | |||
* Time: 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 8:00pm UT | |||
* Location: Mozilla Mountain View + broadcast on [ https://mzl.la/et-speaker-series-2019-08-01 | AirMo] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uBw_iHl8FU | Youtube] | |||
* Topic | |||
<BLOCKQUOTE> | |||
The importance of understanding differences in culture have long been known to designers. Interactive technology enables new ways to localize products, but it also moves products into aspects of daily life where the subtle differences in culture become more important and more profound. Today's autonomous cars, for example, are designed to follow the letter of the local law, but do not adapt to regional variations in driving behavior. At scale, this lack of adaptation can cause accidents and cost lives. | |||
I will discuss recent research looking at cross-cultural experiments in people's interactions with autonomous driving that were conducted between the US and the Netherlands, Mexico, Japan, and Israel and outline an emerging framework for designers to examine cultural differences. | |||

<BLOCKQUOTE>Wendy Ju is an Assistant Professor at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech and in the Information Science field at Cornell University. Dr. Ju comes to Cornell Tech from the Center for Design Research at Stanford University, where she was Executive Director of Interaction Design Research, and from the California College of the Arts, where she was an Associate Professor of Interaction Design in the Design MFA program. Her work in the areas of human-robot interaction and automated vehicle interfaces highlights the ways that interactive devices can communicate and engage people without interrupting or intruding. Dr. Ju has innovated numerous methods for early-stage prototyping of automated systems to understand how people will respond to systems before the systems are built. She has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford, and a Master’s in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT. Her monograph on The Design of Implicit Interactions was published in 2015. | |||
