TY - CONF T1 - Breaking Ground: Examining the Social Dimensions of AI Development and Trials in Automated Mobility A1 - Mlynar, Jakub A1 - Nanchen, Benjamin A1 - Ehrenzeller, Luisa TI - AI Days @ HES-SO 2025 Y1 - 2025 KW - artificial intelligence KW - automated vehicles KW - human-centered AI KW - pilot trials KW - Robotics KW - Sociology N2 - This paper explores the social dimensions of AI in automated mobility through an ethnographic case study of the ‘Planzer – Dynamic Micro Hub with LOXO’ project in Bern and Fribourg (Switzerland). Our findings highlight how teleoperation and software development relate to digital representations of the embodied sense of driving, a connection that is crucial for achieving reliable and accountable automated vehicles. Emphasizing social interactions, our research advocates for human-centered AI technologies that enhance human capabilities and foster user trust. ER -
