TL;DR: A recent internet-based survey of 347 Austinites found that respondents perceive fewer crashes to be the primary benefit of autonomous vehicles (AVs), with equipment failure being their top concern as mentioned in this paper, and their average willingness to pay (WTP) for adding full (Level 4) automation ($7253) appears to be much higher than that for adding partial (Level 3) automation (3300) to their current vehicles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a survey with 347 Austinites to understand their opinions on smart-car technologies and strategies and found that respondents perceive fewer crashes to be the primary benefit of autonomous vehicles (AVs), with equipment failure being their top concern.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation-based fleet evolution framework is proposed to forecast Americans' long-term adoption levels of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) under eight different scenarios based on 5% and 10% annual drops in technology prices; 0, 5, and 10 percent annual increments in Americans' willingness to pay (WTP); and changes in government regulations (e.g., mandatory adoption of connectivity on new vehicles).

TL;DR: In this article, a new simulation-based framework was proposed to forecast Americans' long-term adoption levels of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) under eight different scenarios based on five% and 10% annual drops in technology prices; 0, 5%, and 10%, annual increments in Americans' willingness to pay (WTP); and 24 changes in government regulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the potential implications of the SAV at a low level of market penetration (1.3% of regional trips) by simulating a fleet of SAVs serving travelers in the 12-mi by 24-mi regional core of Austin, Texas.
