💬 “There's often this culture of entrepreneurial-ism that looks at technology as a solution in itself. But if they're not developed from the ground up, we can end up with significant inequalities between certain users.” Dr Felicity Heathcote-Márcz

This is a conversation with Dr Felicity Heathcote-Márcz

🎙️ Felicity is an ethnographer and the Research and Behaviours Lead at Atkins Global Intelligent Mobility. She employs anthropological approaches to understand how humans are using the latest intelligent mobility technologies like autonomous vehicles and mobility as a service. Felicity has designed and led research trials testing out new technologies with behavioural interventions to understand what makes a difference to improving transport services and supporting policymakers to understand how they can be ready for the future of transport. Felicity also guest lectures on mobility and research, and has authored academic, technical and journalistic content on these themes.
