The UnScripted Trip: Fostering Policy Discussion on Future Human–Vehicle Collaboration in Autonomous Driving Through Design-Oriented Methods
🤖 AI Summary
The rapid advancement of autonomous driving technologies has introduced novel human-vehicle collaboration paradigms while simultaneously generating social tensions between human-machine interaction and policy formulation. To bridge this gap, this work proposes “The UnScripted Trip,” an innovative card game that uniquely integrates design fiction, speculative narrative, and card-based mechanics to create an interdisciplinary, participatory platform for policy deliberation. Through facilitated workshops engaging diverse stakeholders, the approach effectively stimulates collective reflection and collaborative exploration of design and policy challenges inherent in future human-vehicle collaboration scenarios. This method offers a novel participatory tool and practical pathway for governance in the domain of autonomous driving, fostering inclusive and forward-looking policy discourse.

📝 Abstract
The rapid advancement of autonomous vehicle (AV) technologies is fundamentally reshaping paradigms of human–vehicle collaboration, raising not only an urgent need for innovative design solutions but also for policies that address corresponding broader tensions in society. To bridge the gap between HCI research and policy making, this workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in the automotive community to explore AV policy directions through collaborative speculation on the future of AVs. We designed The UnScripted Trip, a card game rooted in fictional narratives of autonomous mobility, to surface tensions around human–vehicle collaboration in future AV scenarios and to provoke critical reflections on design solutions and policy directions. Our goal is to provide an engaging, participatory space and method for automotive researchers, designers, and industry practitioners to collectively explore and shape the future of human–vehicle collaboration and its policy implications.
