Literature Review on Surveys Investigating the Acceptance of Autonomous Vehicles

Due to the potential of autonomous vehicles to offer a multitude of advantages to the travelers and therefore influence their daily routines, it is essential to monitor the public?s opinion on this particular technological development. The goal of a number of surveys in recent years was therefore not only to elicit the general acceptance of the technology, but to additionally explore when, how and why respondents were inclined to make us of it. This is the first literature review on surveys regarding autonomous vehicles with the intention to investigate the various methods currently being applied and the conclusions they lead to. In addition to comparing the general results in terms of the distributions of the response variables, the surveyed explanatory variables are categorized and analyzed according to their influence in different experiments. Based on these investigations, this review identifies research gaps that can be addressed in future experiments.
