摘 要:Autonomous vehicles(AVs)are a promising emerging technology that is likely to be widely deployed in the near *** s perception on AV safety is critical to the pace and success of deploying the AV *** studies found that people s perceptions on emerging technologies might change as additional information was *** investigate this phenomenon in the AV technology context,this paper conducted real-world AV experiments and collected factors that may associate with people s initial opinions without any AV riding experience and opinion change after a successful AV ride.A number of ordered probit and binary probit models considering data heterogeneity were employed to estimate the impact of these factors on people s initial opinions and opinion *** study found that people s initial opinions toward AV safety are significantly associated with people s age,personal income,monthly fuel cost,education experience,and previous AV ***,the factors dominating people s opinion change after a successful AV ride include people s age,personal income,monthly fuel cost,daily commute time,driving alone indicator,willingness to pay for AV technology,and previous AV *** results provide important references for future implementations of the AV ***,based on the inconsistent effects for variables across different models,suggestions for future transportation survey designs are provided.
