“…sociodemographic variables (see Gkartzonikas and Gkritza [19] for an overview). A study of intention to use CACs in eight European and nine non-European countries found that intention to use CACs was highest amongst younger and male respondents [20] and the trends varied widely across countries.…”

This study aims to investigate the willingness to pay for conditionally automated cars (CACs) among 8,084 respondents in seven European countries by segmenting potential buyers of CACs. Future deployment of CACs depends on a sufficient willingness to pay among a sufficient large part of the population. Latent profile analysis was employed to identify the variables with the highest loadings on the latent factor “willingness to pay,” based on latent constructs from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model. In addition, we analyzed which factors were associated with willingness to pay for different automated systems in CACs, i.e., for driving on urban roads, motorways, congested motorways, and parking areas. We find that a large share of respondents indicates a generally high willingness to pay for CACs, but classes with a high share of conservatives and young respondents have the lowest willingness to pay.

“…Additionally, previous experience with CAVs had a positive impact on the intention to use them. Louw et al [21] used data from an online survey of 18,631 car drivers from 17 countries, including eight European nations, to investigate the intention to use automated driving functions in four operational design domains: motorways, traffic jams, urban roads, and parking. They found that the intention to use automated driving functions was generally high, particularly for automated parking functions.…”

Public acceptance of conditionally automated vehicles is a crucial step in the realization of smart cities. Prior research in Europe has shown that the factors of hedonic motivation, social influence, and performance expectancy, in decreasing order of importance, influence acceptance. Moreover, a generally positive acceptance of the technology was reported. However, there is a lack of information regarding the public acceptance of conditionally automated vehicles in the United States. In this study, we carried out a web-based experiment where participants were provided information regarding the technology and then completed a questionnaire on their perceptions. The collected data was analyzed using PLS-SEM to examine the factors that may lead to public acceptance of the technology in the United States. Our findings showed that social influence, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, and facilitating conditions determine conditionally automated vehicle acceptance. Additionally, certain factors were found to influence the perception of how useful the technology is, the effort required to use it, and the facilitating conditions for its use. By integrating the insights gained from this study, stakeholders can better facilitate the adoption of autonomous vehicle technology, contributing to safer, more efficient, and user-friendly transportation systems in the future that help realize the vision of the smart city.

This paper investigates the end-user acceptance of last-mile delivery carried out by autonomous vehicles within the United States. A total of 296 participants were presented with information on this technology and then asked to complete a questionnaire on their perceptions to gauge their behavioral intention concerning acceptance. Structural equation modeling of the partial least squares flavor (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze the collected data. The results indicated that the perceived usefulness of the technology played the greatest role in end-user acceptance decisions, followed by the influence of others, and then the enjoyment received by interacting with the technology. Furthermore, the perception of risk associated with using autonomous delivery vehicles for last-mile delivery led to a decrease in acceptance. However, most participants did not perceive the use of this technology to be risky. The paper concludes by summarizing the implications our findings have on the respective stakeholders, and proposing the next steps in this area of research.
