The first session of this workshop is organized in collaboration with colleagues from the Workshop on the Design of Inclusive and Accessible Future Mobility. It will feature short (5-7 minutes long) invited talks from experts in the proposed topics of the workshop(s). The talks will provide theoretical background and past experiences about accessibility to AVs, on which we build upon in the interactive sessions. This session will be recorded and made available online during the AutoUI’21 conference so that you can watched it in your time zone (or again) before the interactive workshops.

Invited experts (list is still being updated):

Elderly drivers and AVs - Dr. Miltiadis Kyriakidis (Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland);

Driving and people with neurological disabilities - Dr. Carolina Diaz-Piedra (Mind, Brain, and Behavior Research Center, UGR, Spain);

Available and potential solutions for increasing AV accessibility to different end-users - Dr. Alexander Mirnig (PLUS, Austria)
