Public opinion about automated and connected vehicles in Australia and New Zealand: results from the 2nd ADVI Public Opinion Survey
The Australia and New Zealand Driverless Vehicle Initiative (ADVI), led by the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB), is a consortium of more than 100 local and international partners from government, industry and academia that has come together to accelerate the safe and successful deployment of partially- and fully-automated (completely self-driving) vehicles in Australia and New Zealand. In late 2016, a sub-set of members of ADVI’s Scientific Research Group designed and conducted a 78-item online survey to gauge Australian public awareness, understanding and likely acceptance (acceptability) of partially- and fully-automated vehicles, with the primary focus on fully-automated cars. An additional 15 items were developed and added to the survey in the following year (2017), designed to gauge public opinion about driverless public transport and ride sharing, perceptions about the safety of driverless vehicles, and interest in partially-automated and connected vehicles. In September 2017, the second iteration of the survey which included these 93 items was distributed across all Australian states and territories, and New Zealand, weighted for key demographic characteristics. This is ADVI’s second national survey in Australia, and the first international survey including New Zealand, of public opinion about partially- and fully-automated cars and connected vehicles. In this second iteration of the survey, responses from 5,102 Australian and 1,049 New Zealand respondents were collected and analysed. The survey gauged a range of topics including (a) awareness of automated vehicles, (b) opinions on perceived potential benefits, (c) trust in the technology, (d) perceived concerns, (e) conditions of use, (f) likely engagement in secondary activities and (g) engagement with driverless public transport. Respondents’ willingness to pay for partially- and fully-automated and connected vehicles was also examined.
