Understanding Driver Agency in RideSharing

Published 31 Dec 2023 in cs.HC and cs.CY | (2401.00356v1)

Abstract: Agency is an important human characteristic that users of automated complex technologies are usually denied. This affects the user's experience leading to decreased satisfaction and productivity. In this paper, we consider the ridesharing context and interviewed 7 drivers to understand the controls that would improve the agency they feel. The results show that they desire transparency, community and an effective ability to seek redress.
