Contemporary human factors research is often based on individual perceptions and neglects the effects of connected and automated mobility (SAE Level 3 and above) on stakeholders outside the relationship between end-users and manufacturers. Within Project VERDI, we seek to broaden this view by investigating a societal based understanding of trust and trustworthiness towards highly automated vehicles. We argue that it is necessary to include a variety of stakeholders’ perspectives that are potentially affected by the ongoing automation of individual mobility, in order to investigate how trust is mediated and shaped through society.
