Description

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are quickly becoming part of our transportation systems, and their use is largely dependent on public perceptions. The objective of this study was to evaluate perceptions of CAVs. Specifically, understanding the differences between people who have ridden a CAV in downtown Las Vegas (shuttle-rider survey) versus those who have not (general survey) yet. Two different survey questionnaires were used to collect data that was analyzed by using penalized logistic regression. Results suggest that people who had exposure to CAVs feel more positively about CAVs. Similarly, young, highly educated, males feel more positively about CAVs than their respective counterparts.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Funding Information: The shuttle was manufactured by Navya, EasyMile, Local Motors, May Mobility, and Coast Autonomous; it is owned and operated by Keolis. The pilot test was funded by Keolis and the American Automobile Association (often referred to as AAA). The pilot test also involved the City of Las Vegas and the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada. The shuttle was advertised via social media and various stakeholder websites. Eight people could ride the shuttle at one time and over 32,000 passengers rode it during the operational period. The shuttle could travel at 25 miles per hour or more; however, the speed was limited to 10 to 15 miles per hour on the route shown in .
