This study aimed to identify the key factors associated with Australian parents' willingness to use an automated vehicle to transport their unaccompanied child(ren). Seven hundred and seventy-five participants completed the online survey (M = 40.7 years, SD = 8.9 years, Range = 18.0–65.0 years; Female: 56.4%). Most participants reported that they would 'never' use an automated vehicle to transport their unaccompanied child(ren) (43.5%). The results of a logistic regression model showed that participants' age, gender, level of education, propensity for technology adoption, aberrant driving behaviours, awareness of advanced driver assistance safety (ADAS) technologies, perceived knowledge regarding automated vehicles, as well their requirements for assurance-related vehicle features were significantly associated with their willingness to use an automated vehicle to transport their unaccompanied child(ren), χ2(12) = 137.41, p < 0.001). Overall, the findings suggest that Australian parents are mostly unwilling to use an automated vehicle to transport their unaccompanied child(ren) unless various reassurance features and technologies (i.e., microphones, camera, ability to summon assistance if the vehicle breaks down) are embedded in the vehicle. Therefore, automated vehicle manufacturers are encouraged to consider these requirements when prototyping their designs so that all user groups, including child occupants, can benefit from the impending arrival of automated technologies.

与澳大利亚父母愿意使用自动驾驶汽车运送无人陪伴的孩子有关的关键因素

这项研究旨在确定与澳大利亚父母愿意使用自动车辆运送无人陪伴的孩子的意愿有关的关键因素。757名参与者完成了在线调查(M = 40.7岁,SD = 8.9岁,范围= 18.0-65.0岁;女性:56.4%)。大多数参与者报告说,他们“永远”不会使用自动车辆来运送无人陪伴的孩子(43.5%)。逻辑回归模型的结果表明,参与者的年龄,性别,受教育程度,技术采用倾向,异常的驾驶行为,对高级驾驶员辅助安全(ADAS)技术的了解,对自动驾驶汽车的认知知识,以及他们对与保证有关的车辆功能的要求与他们愿意使用自动车辆运送无人陪伴的孩子的意愿显着相关,χ2(12)= 137.41,p <0.001)。总体而言,研究结果表明,澳大利亚父母大多不愿意使用自动交通工具来运送无人陪伴的孩子,除非其中嵌入了各种保证功能和技术(例如,麦克风,摄像头,如果汽车发生故障时可以寻求协助的能力)。机动车。因此,鼓励自动化汽车制造商在对其设计进行原型设计时考虑这些要求,以使包括儿童乘员在内的所有用户群体都能从即将到来的自动化技术中受益。χ2(12)= 137.41,p <0.001)。总体而言,研究结果表明,澳大利亚父母大多不愿意使用自动交通工具来运送无人陪伴的孩子,除非其中嵌入了各种保证功能和技术(例如,麦克风,摄像头,如果汽车发生故障时可以寻求协助的能力)。机动车。因此,鼓励自动化汽车制造商在对其设计进行原型设计时考虑这些要求,以使包括儿童乘员在内的所有用户群体都能从即将到来的自动化技术中受益。χ2(12)= 137.41,p <0.001)。总体而言,研究结果表明,澳大利亚父母大多不愿意使用自动交通工具来运送无人陪伴的孩子,除非其中嵌入了各种保证功能和技术(例如,麦克风,摄像头,如果汽车发生故障时可以寻求协助的能力)。机动车。因此,鼓励自动化汽车制造商在对其设计进行原型设计时考虑这些要求,以使包括儿童乘员在内的所有用户群体都能从即将到来的自动化技术中受益。如果车辆发生故障,则可以请求协助)。因此,鼓励自动化汽车制造商在对其设计进行原型设计时考虑这些要求,以使包括儿童乘员在内的所有用户群体都能从即将到来的自动化技术中受益。如果车辆发生故障,则可以召集协助)。因此,鼓励自动化汽车制造商在对其设计进行原型设计时考虑这些要求,以使包括儿童乘员在内的所有用户群体都能从即将到来的自动化技术中受益。
