Self Driving Society - Design Tools

How will mobility automation change the society and urbanscape of the future? What can design do to make the transition to a driverless world responsible and as frictionless as possible? The topic of the Self-Driving Society, is the focal point of a long series of activities, works and design efforts that I lead for the Bassetti Foundation in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano.

Here two design tools I conceived to help innovators shape the self-driving society of tomorrow in a responsible way.

The Responsibility Matrix for the Self-Driving Society is a tool that helps embed responsibility into the process of innovation of autonomous transportation systems. By selecting different combinations of variables, innovators can use the matrix as a map to navigate new possible scenarios and ideas.

The Collingridge Positioning helps stakeholders, designers and policymakers reflect on how to calibrate their intervention, according to the degree of diffusion of a certain technology (in this case autonomous mobility systems). It is based on the famous Collingdridge Dilemma, theorized by David Collingridge in 1980.
