Public Opinion Surveys on Self-Driving Cars: A Collaboration with the Korea Transport Institute
Autonomy, Privacy and Training
Open Roboethics Institute has been collaborating with the Korea Transport Institute (KOTI) since 2017 to understand the public’s perspective towards the implementation of semi-autonomous cars. ORI and KOTI collaborated on developing the research agenda and researchers from each institute conducted the studies in English and Korean within North America and South Korea, respectively.
