About

Dr. Ioannis Politis is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, with a specific focus on the user experience (UX) of autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems. His work bridges the critical gap between advanced automotive technology and the human factors that determine its real-world adoption. Dr. Politis is best known for pioneering research into how people perceive, trust, and interact with semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles, moving beyond technical feasibility to prioritize the rider's psychological and experiential needs. His seminal workshop paper, "Experiencing Autonomous Vehicles" (2015), with 23 citations, laid foundational groundwork for the field by framing the crossover between autonomous driving and UX research. This work has been instrumental in shaping how designers and engineers approach in-vehicle interfaces, trust calibration, and the overall passenger experience. Dr. Politis’s contributions are vital for ensuring that the future of mobility is not only technologically advanced but also human-centered, safe, and intuitive.
