Thesis explored autonomous vehicles and their importance in modern society. The service design thesis focused on the technology behind creating self-driving cars, evaluated the five stages of automation, assessed public acceptance of autonomous vehicles, and considered the cost benefits that contribute to an eco-friendly society.
The broader topic of technology’s role in creating an efficient, green society has been a subject of debate and importance for over a generation. Within this context, the thesis delved into the growth and direction of autonomous vehicles, emphasizing how these technologies can provide greater value to the public. Interviews, a survey and document analysis as methods were utilized.
Thesis also examined local societal norms related to urban mobility, using stakeholder illustrations and a journey map. Stakeholders included not only the autonomous vehicle production factory but also ride-share services that have implemented self-driving cars in test cities. Additionally, it considered cities that invest in road technology, private lane construction, and greenhouse emissions control programs.
During the research, personas were created based on interviews. The results were analyzed to understand societal perceptions of autonomous vehicle acceptance. Desk research studies from autonomous vehicle production factories demonstrated autonomous vehicles as providers for a safe and environmentally sustainable society.
