Benefits and Concerns Sample Clauses

Benefits and Concerns. Table 5 presents a summary of findings focusing on benefits and concerns. Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx (2014) found that respondents were more likely to be concerned about: legal liability for drivers/owners, data privacy (location and destination tracking), interacting with non-self- driving vehicles, system performance in poor weather, and self-driving vehicles not driving as well as human drivers in general. Females expressed higher levels of concern with self-driving vehicles than did males. Similarly, females were more cautious about their expectations concerning the benefits of using self-driving vehicles. Xxxxxxxxxx et al. (2018a) presented a new approach for modeling the adoption behavior of fully AVs using the profile-case best-worst scaling model. In this approach, an AV profile that is characterized in terms of the main vehicle attributes and their associated levels is presented to the decision-maker and he/she is asked to select the most and the least attractive attributes. Results indicate that more productive use of time in the vehicle and less stressful driving experience are the most expected benefits of driverless vehicles, and the high anticipated price of AVs and disclosure of personal information are the most expected downsides of AVs.
