About

Sven Krome is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, autonomous vehicle user experience (UX), and automotive interaction design. His work fundamentally explores how people perceive, trust, and engage with semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles, bridging the gap between technical automation and human-centered design. Krome’s most cited paper, “Experiencing Autonomous Vehicles” (2015, 23 citations), helped define a new research agenda by framing the shift from driver to passenger as a UX challenge, not just an engineering one. He has been instrumental in developing methodologies to study in-car experiences, including how riders interact with interfaces, manage trust, and maintain situational awareness. Beyond his published work, Krome is known for organizing influential workshops that brought together automotive UX researchers and practitioners, shaping early discourse on autonomous driving experiences. His contributions have informed both academic frameworks and practical design guidelines for next-generation vehicle interiors, making him a key voice in ensuring that autonomous vehicles are not only safe but also comfortable, intuitive, and enjoyable for users.
