Study on the Psychological Acceptance of Level 3 Autonomous Driving

The emergence of autonomous vehicles (AVs) has brought numerous conveniences and development opportunities to human society, but it has also raised safety concerns. In recent years, AVs have been involved in multiple traffic accidents for various reasons, resulting in a continuous decline in user acceptance. In response, we need to propose some hypotheses to investigate the relationship between traffic accidents and the decline in user acceptance. This paper aims to summarize and generalize the objective problems observed during a real vehicle observation experiment and conduct in-depth interviews with participants regarding their usage scenarios, objectives, interactive behaviors, and operational methods related to AVs. By analyzing the factors that influence user acceptance, we will further develop, improve, and integrate the psychological factors affecting drivers' behaviors based on AVs, ultimately creating a model for the influencing factors of user acceptance in AVs.
