#048: “Acceptance of what?” - Dr. Jack Stilgoe, University College London (at AVS 2019)What’s better: public acceptance or public acceptability? Pete and SAFE Greg sat down to ponder AVs, PAVE, and public perception with Dr. Jack Stilgoe, Associate Professor at the Department of Science and Technology Studies at University College London. We discuss the perception challenges ahead for AVs, the international landscape for AV development and testing, and reactions to technology-related crashes. “The right way to think about it if you’re developing the technology is to think, what will be acceptable technology?” Jack suggests. “Even just the even twist to say ‘let’s talk about public acceptability.’ What will people actually want? What will go with people’s hopes and values.”Follow Jack on Twitter: @JackStilgoeFind Jack’s work at https://driverless-futures.comAs always, you can also keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @SharedMobilityS, @SmarterTranspo.Learn more about AVS here: https://www.automatedvehiclessymposium.org/homeStay tuned in the coming weeks for more exciting guest interviews held by The Mobility Podcast at AVS 2019!Help us grow: please rate, review, and subscribe!
