Factors influencing the user behaviour of shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs): A systematic literature review
The emergence of autonomous driving technologies will transform mobility in the future. Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) are crucial elements of sustainable future mobility concepts because they are expected to have a positive impact on urban mobility, infrastructure, travel behaviour and the environment. Driven by the necessity for sustainable mobility concepts and the prospect of accelerated […]
Public perception of autonomous vehicle capability determines judgment of blame and trust in road traffic accidents
Road accidents involving autonomous vehicles (AVs) will not only introduce legal challenges over liability distribution but also generally diminish the public trust that may make itself manifested in slowing the initial adoption of the technology and call into question the continued adoption of the technology. Understanding the public’s reactions to such incidents, especially the way […]
