Abstract
58 English language survey studies of attitudes towards Autonomous Vehicles reviewed. Results of survey of 11,827 drivers in 11 European countries reported. On average, more drivers uncomfortable than comfortable with the prospect of AVs. Perceptions of AVs covary with technological optimism and driving sociability. Suggestions to improve attitude measures for AVs as novel technological objects.
