Abstract

The Local Experiences of Automobility (LEAM) project creates an ethnographic design space encompassing the car, the infrastructure and the ecosystem around varied smart transportation futures. This space is informed by locality and context dependent conditions of how, when, and why cars are used, by whom, and under what conditions. In this paper we present the ethnographic methodology for a multi-country exploration of driving experiences in Brazil, China, Germany, Russia, and the United States using in car sensors such as GPS, smart phone usage applications in concert with ethnographic interviews and subject journaling.
