Anthropomorphism and socialization in smart urban mobility: insights from human-autonomous vehicle interaction by Wu, Min

“…By understanding the nuanced effects of anthropomorphism and socialization across public attitudes, vehicle-pedestrian interactions, and in-vehicle experiences, this research provides key insights into designing anthropomorphic and socially compatible features in autonomous vehicles. These secure, user-centered designs can foster trust, engagement, user intention, and self-accountability, thereby aiding the evolution of future urban mobility systems.…”
