• Abstract:
  A survey was conducted to examine the relationship between consumers’ beliefs about automated vehicles, their knowledge of automated vehicles, and their views about technology. The researchers investigated how knowledge of self-driving vehicles, perceived knowledge of self-driving vehicles, general beliefs about the self, and beliefs about technology are shaping attitudes toward self-driving cars and the confidence with which these attitudes are held. Consumers also expressed their intentions to purchase a driverless vehicle, and their support for legislation and policies to put these driving systems on our roadways. Additionally, consumers completed a measure of their perceived knowledge and a test of their actual knowledge of fully automated vehicles. They also filled out the general self-confidence scale.
