Engaging

As a result of limited data collection coverage of citizens, I think the combination of Open Platforms and corporate partnerships with Uber or Argo AI should work better, and save municipal operation cost. Although it may take time to process the data for the information gathered from open platforms, however, it could generate more data for analysis purpose. Also, the social media platform are more commonly used in large social groups, so the survey sample should be more representative.

I'm suggesting municipalities to use official account or start a new account to start a topic posting or tweeting event, so citizens could participate and post/tweet the information which the municipality are needed. For example, please see the tweet below, which aimed to get feedback from general public. Following this method, municipalities could collect the data directly from these "#" and responses below the Tweets or Retweets. Similar method could also be used in Instagram data collection regarding citizens or visitors' opinions of Driveless Future.

Additionally, municipalities could partner with autonomous vehicle companies to make these service providers to directly engage with the citizens or services users. In this way, services providers could directly encourage these service users to take the surveys, which would help generate more active responses from citizens. On the other side, these companies could gain support of improving infrastructure to accommodate their autonomous vehicle development.
