The technology that allows fully automated driving already exists and it may gradually enter the market over the forthcoming decades. Technology assimilation and automated vehicle acceptance in different countries is of high interest to many scholars, manufacturers, and policymakers worldwide. We model the mode choice between automated vehicles and conventional cars using a mixed multinomial logit heteroskedastic error component type model. Specifically, we capture preference heterogeneity assuming a continuous distribution across individuals. Different choice scenarios, based on respondents’ reported trip, were presented to respondents from six European countries: Cyprus, Hungary, Iceland, Montenegro, Slovenia, and the UK. We found that large reservations towards automated vehicles exist in all countries with 70% conventional private car choices, and 30% automated vehicles choices. We found that men, under the age of 60, with a high income who currently use private car, are more likely to be early adopters of automated vehicles. We found significant differences in automated vehicles acceptance in different countries. Individuals from Slovenia and Cyprus show higher automated vehicles acceptance while individuals from wealthier countries, UK, and Iceland, show more reservations towards them. Nontrading mode choice behaviors, value of travel time, and differences in model parameters among the different countries are discussed.

“…In all technology adoption theories reviewed in this study, perceived ease of use is crucial for employee readiness for technology adoption (Goodhue & Thompson 1995;Venkatesh & Davis 1996;Venkatesh, et al 2003;Sun 2016;Lai 2017). Also, many studies done by Chen, et al (2009), Chen, et al (2013, Hsia (2014), Csuka et al (2019), and Blut & Wang (2020) confirm the same. This research confirms that perceived ease of use is a pivotal and significant factor for employee readiness and accounts for 37% towards readiness which is the highest.…”

“…This study sanctions the findings of previous research that techno-optimism of the employees has a significant influence on employee readiness. Though it was not discussed and highlighted in theories, much research, Walczuch et al (2007), Chen et al (2009), Son & Han (2011), Csuka et al (2019), and Blut & Wang (2020 have stressed the importance of techno-optimism towards readiness. This study confirms that techno-optimism has a moderate positive relationship and 22% contribution towards employee readiness for AMT adoption.…”

Compared with other manufacturing industries, apparel manufacturing can be classified as the most labor-intensive industry, which needs a man behind every machine. The use of advanced manufacturing technologies in the apparel shop floor is far behind compared to other industries. The researcher believes that one reason could be the lack of readiness of employees to adopt new technologies. This paper aims to provide empirical evidence on the influencing factors on employee readiness to adopt advanced manufacturing technology on the apparel shop floor, aiming for the Sri Lankan apparel industry. Following a critical review of literature, five factors, perceived usefulness, attitude, perceived ease of use, perceived management support, and techno-optimism, were tested with the data collected through a quantitative survey conducted among 118 employees using a questionnaire. The results revealed that all five factors correlate with employee readiness in various degrees. Findings suggest that apparel organisations may need to improve employee readiness before adopting advanced technologies on the shop floor to bring more success in technology adoption. The literature addressing technology adoption in apparel shop floor is scarce, and this study contributes to that gap. Further research is recommended to contribute to knowledge and find solutions to enhance technological capabilities to bring a competitive advantage to the apparel industry.

“…The TRI has also been found to have meaningful relationships with the adoption of cryptocurrency Alharbi & Sohaib (2021) [4] and to affect customer perceived value [36]. This scale, especially technology readiness, is one of the scales that is accepted in the evaluation of new technologies by consumers and on which many studies have been conducted in the literature [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49].…”

Autonomous (driverless) cars, which have entered the automotive industry with the developments in automotive and the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, are rapidly finding a place in the marketing field. At this point, there are factors affecting consumers' concerns and willingness to use autonomous vehicles. In order to discover these factors, the readiness of consumers and the aspects in which they are ready for this technology are issues that need to be investigated. As a result of this situation, consumers' readiness to use autonomous vehicles, their attitudes toward using them, and their intentions to use them in the future are essential. This study aims to reveal the factors affecting consumers' attitudes and intentions towards using autonomous cars. Research data was collected via an online survey method. The convenience sampling method was used in the research. The research model was tested by structural equation modeling using Smart PLS. As a result of the research, it was found that discomfort and distrust dimensions significantly and negatively affected consumers' attitudes towards usage. It was found that the dimensions of optimism, innovativeness, and anthropomorphism significantly and positively affected consumers' attitudes toward use, and users' attitudes towards use significantly and positively affected their intention to use. The research results show that brands that put autonomous cars on the market should give importance to improvements in the dimensions of optimism, innovation, and anthropomorphism and should make improvements that will eliminate consumers' discomfort and insecurity.
