Abstract

Automated VEhicles' (BRAVE) in the participating EU-countries France, Germany, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden as well as in Australia and the USA. Including 5,827 respondents, the study findings disclose a rather positive acceptance of CACs from the perspective of different road user groups. However, concerns are also apparent. Results from multivariate analyses indicate that the acceptance of CACs differs between road user groups in that VRUs demonstrated lower acceptance than non-automated car drivers. The role of trust in the new vehicle technology also appears to be significant. Consequently, future developments of CACs should also focus on the communication between automated cars and bystanders (e.g. via external human-machine interfaces) to reduce uncertainties and promote trust.
