About
Seongsin Kim is a leading researcher in the field of autonomous vehicle adoption, with a particular focus on the human factors that determine the success of emerging mobility services. Her work centers on user acceptance, human-robot interaction, and the real-world deployment of self-driving technologies. Kim’s most impactful contribution is her pioneering field study on Robo-Taxi user experience, which analyzed actual passenger data to understand the psychological and practical barriers to commercial adoption. This research, which has garnered 19 citations, directly addresses the critical skepticism surrounding safety and trust in autonomous systems. By moving beyond simulation-based studies to real-world field tests, Kim provides actionable insights for engineers and policymakers aiming to bridge the gap between technological capability and public readiness. Her work is notable for its rigorous empirical approach, offering a rare glimpse into how everyday users interact with driverless taxis. For students and researchers in human-computer interaction and transportation engineering, Kim’s studies serve as a foundational reference for designing user-centered autonomous services that can achieve widespread societal acceptance.
