Stanford University Center for Design Research Wendy Ju, Executive Director of Interaction Design

We are designing how people will interact 
 with the vehicles of the future. We are performing research on shared control with automation, the emotional experience of automated driving, and the opportunities for learning and adaptation in the cars of tomorrow.
