“…There is, however, a significant income effect associated with technology savviness. Those in the highest annual income group of $150,000+ appear to be more tech-savvy than lower income groups, suggesting that higher income households are more comfortable with being early adopters of new technology, a finding also reported by Dannemiller et al (30). Individuals in lower income households reported a greater level of environmental consciousness, confirming findings reported in Lavieri et al (11).…”

Transportation has been experiencing disruptive forces in recent years. One key disruption is the development of autonomous vehicles (AVs) that will be capable of navigating roadways on their own without the need for human presence in the vehicle. In a utopian scenario, AVs may enter the transportation landscape and foster a more sustainable and livable ecosystem with shared autonomous electric vehicles (SAEV) serving mobility needs and eliminating the need for private ownership. In a more dystopian scenario, AVs would be personally owned by households—enabling people to live farther away from destinations, inducing additional travel, and roaming roadways with zero occupants. Concerned with the potential deleterious effects of having personal AVs running errands autonomously, this paper aims to shed light on the level of interest in sending AVs to run errands and how that variable affects the intent to own an AV. Using data from a survey conducted in 2019 in four automobile-oriented metropolitan regions in the United States, the relationship is explored through a joint model system estimated using the generalized heterogeneous data model (GHDM) methodology. Results show that even after accounting for socio-economic and demographic variables as well as latent attitudinal constructs, the level of interest in having AVs run errands has a positive and significant effect on AV ownership intent. The findings point to the need for policies that would steer the entry and use of AVs in the marketplace in ways that avoid a dystopian future.

“…However, it is still debated whether the number of cars and the number of trips will increase once AVs will become the dominant mode of personal mobility (e.g. Dannemiller et al, 2021), or whether they may remain stable (Acheampong et al, 2021). Cugurullo et al (2021) recently speculated that a mixed model of AV use will emerge, consisting of both privately owned cars and shared ones.…”
