About

Roderick McCall is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on the user experience of autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems. His most-cited work, "Experiencing Autonomous Vehicles" (2015, 23 citations), helped define the critical crossover between autonomous driving technology and UX research, addressing how users perceive, trust, and interact with semi-autonomous vehicles in real-world traffic. McCall’s contributions have been instrumental in shaping early discussions on the human factors of automation, emphasizing that the success of autonomous vehicles depends not only on technical reliability but on designing for user comfort, safety, and acceptance. His research bridges engineering and psychology, exploring how people experience transitions between manual and autonomous control. While his citation count reflects a growing field, McCall’s work is notable for its foundational role in establishing UX as a core consideration in autonomous vehicle development. He has also contributed to workshops and collaborative projects that bring together researchers and industry practitioners, helping to set the agenda for user-centered design in future mobility. For students and researchers, McCall’s work offers a compelling entry point into understanding the human side of autonomous systems.
