About
Namwoo Kang is a leading researcher at the intersection of autonomous vehicle technology, user experience, and human-centered design. His work focuses on understanding how real-world interactions with emerging mobility systems shape public acceptance and adoption. Kang’s most-cited study, “Effect of Robo-Taxi User Experience on User Acceptance: Field Test Data Analysis” (2021, 19 citations), is a landmark contribution that bridges the gap between theoretical automation research and practical consumer behavior. By analyzing field test data from actual Robo-Taxi rides, Kang provides critical insights into how safety perceptions and experiential factors influence user trust and willingness to adopt self-driving taxi services. This work is foundational for engineers, policymakers, and designers aiming to commercialize autonomous mobility. Kang’s research is notable for its empirical rigor and real-world applicability, directly addressing skepticism about autonomous vehicle acceptance. His contributions are shaping the future of transportation by ensuring that technological innovation is grounded in genuine user needs, making him a key voice in the transition to automated urban mobility.
