What Can We Learn from Fatal Automated Vehicle Crashes? A Closer Look at Crash Narratives in Media
Text mining tools allow for a deep dive into the language used in fatal crash narratives. This session explores key crash details that emerge from analyzing a unique dataset of news articles discussing fatal collisions involving one or more automated vehicles. The media dataset also provides insights into the survivability of the driver as a function of the crash details presented. The presentation will provide insights into the importance of analyzing narratives in media that shape public opinions about automated vehicle safety. Continued monitoring and analysis of automated vehicle crashes can help to inform future research and adoption of automated vehicles.
