“…'Indirect effect' was not found to be statistically substantial (beta B = −0.07; confidence interval CI = −0.22 to 0.04). As opposed to a conclusion drawn by [47], the findings suggest that consumers' emotions did not play a key role in their responses to their readiness to ride. To confirm this statement, mediation analysis for each facial expression for both males and females was performed.…”

“…Education could increase awareness and trust of consumers. As mentioned in [47], the gradual introduction of autonomous ambulance technology through trial transportation of patients with noncritical injuries may enhance users' trust and lead to the spread of this technology. Despite the fact that driverless vehicle technology is becoming available, scientists and innovators have to take into account the readiness of its acceptance by travelers.…”

Progress in advanced vehicular technologies and computer science leads to driverless vehicles becoming a reality. The standard ambulances might be replaced by driverless ambulances operated by an autopilot that provides passengers with a secure regime. Therefore, the study’s aim was to collate two different countries regarding the consumers’ preparedness to travel on such autonomous ambulances. To obtain a more demonstrative result, a questionnaire survey was conducted in two countries (Hungary and Kazakhstan). It also gathered ‘affect’ measures in order to figure out if ‘affect’ served as a medium between the ambulance mode and readiness to ride, and to understand whether emotions play any role during the decision making. The necessary data were collected through the so-called Autonomous Ambulance Acceptance Questionnaire. After conducting ‘t-Test’, ‘ANOVA’, and Mediation analysis, the findings have been discussed. The results help to realize the necessity of developing educational guides to prepare potential patients for Autonomous Vehicles technology.

“…Moreover, if autonomous driving is better than human drivers in the future, then autonomous ambulances may be able to get injured people to hospitals faster and safer than human-driven ambulances, which is an excellent gift for some wounded people in urgent need of emergency treatment. However, Winter et al [49] reported in their research that respondents are reluctant to accept autonomous ambulances compared to traditional ones. Individuals still do not trust autonomous technology at the moment in the urgency of their lives, they guess.…”

“…The autonomous ambulance could improve the shortage of medical providers by eliminating the need for human drivers which allow adequate care for the injured [49]. Moreover, if autonomous driving is better than human drivers in the future, then autonomous ambulances may be able to get injured people to hospitals faster and safer than human-driven ambulances, which is an excellent gift for some wounded people in urgent need of emergency treatment.…”

Excessive dependence on autonomous vehicles (AVs) may exacerbate traffic congestion and increase exhaust emissions in the future. The diffusion of AVs may be significantly affected by the public’s acceptance. A few factors that may affect people’s acceptance of AVs have been researched in the existing studies, one-third of which cited behavioral theories, while the rest did not. A total of seven factors with behavior theories are screened out that significantly affect the acceptance intention, including perceived ease of use, attitude, social norm, trust, perceived usefulness, perceived risk, and compatibility. Six factors without behavior theories are summed up that affect AV acceptance, namely safety, performance-to-price value, mobility, value of travel time, symbolic value, and environmentally friendly. We found that people in Europe and Asia have substantial differences in attitudes toward AVs and that safety is one of the most concerned factors of AVs by scholars and respondents. Public acceptance of the different types of AVs and consumers’ dynamic preferences for AVs are highlighted in the review too. The quality of literature is systematically assessed based on previously established instruments and tailored for the current review. The results of the assessment show potential opportunities for future research, such as the citation of behavior theories and access to longitudinal data. Additionally, the experimental methods and the utilization of mathematical and theoretical methods could be optimized.

“…As shown, the respondents approach this solution with great caution and uncertainty. As mentioned in Reference [48], the gradual introduction of autonomous ambulance technology through the trial transportation of patients with noncritical injuries may enhance users' trust and lead to the spread of this technology. Currently, in the area of services, innovative solutions are also used in the field of city logistics: EVs, electric cargo bikes (E-CB), new techniques for modeling and controlling traffic [49][50][51] and AVs are available.…”

Contemporary trends are focused on the development of the so-called smart, connected and multimedia cars as well as actions in the field of driving autonomy, and these trends may lead to changes in the structure of the industry through the emergence and growth of the importance of new entities. The article presents the concept of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and the way it is perceived by users of traditional cars. Surveys were carried out in various age groups on the possibilities of developing AVs in Poland. The group of respondents were inhabitants of a rural area, small towns and cities with over 300,000 inhabitants. Based on our own research, it can be concluded that, due to many different factors, including costs, legal regulations and conviction, among others, AVs will not appear so soon in common use on Polish roads. The results of the research showed that the majority of respondents consider hybrid vehicles (HVs) and then electric vehicles (EVs) to be the dominant type of vehicles in the near future in Poland, at the same time pointing at the long process of adopting AV technology.
