TL;DR: Interestingly, results show that the experience influenced people’s mode choice preferences, moving from car to autonomous taxi and shared autonomous taxi (after the experiment) and the results of the structural equation and the choice model highlighted the importance of comfort in people's preferences towards shared autonomous options.
Abstract: Shared Autonomous Vehicles are expected to significantly change transport and mobility, improving road safety, environmental impact and traffic efficiency. However, the successful implementation of a SAV mobility service strongly depends on public acceptance and adoption, which might be influenced by a number of factors, such as socio-demographic characteristics of potential users, and their expectations and perceptions towards the autonomous system. This study presents the results of a novel experiment carried out in a non-simulated environment, to explore car users’ preferences towards autonomous mobility options. Participants took part in a stated preference task before and after a brief exposure in a Shared Autonomous Vehicle. Interestingly, results show that the experience influenced people’s mode choice preferences, moving from car (the most preferred mode before the experiment) to autonomous taxi and shared autonomous taxi (after the experiment). The study and the results of the structural equation and the choice model also highlighted the importance of comfort in people’s preferences towards shared autonomous options.

TL;DR: In this paper, an increase in functionality of semi-autonomous vehicles (SAV) through the implementation of intelligent distributed control and smart sensing techniques is presented, in combination with a modular design approach, this facilitates system modification and improvement, combined with faster customisation of the platform.

TL;DR: The work presented here aims at showing the feasibility of an Emergent Programming Environment enabling the development of complex adaptive systems by specifying, and experimenting with, a core of instruction-agents needed for a sub-set of mathematical calculus.
Abstract: We propose to investigate the concept of an Emergent Programming Environment enabling the development of complex adaptive systems. For this we use as a foundation the concept of emergence and a multi-agent system technology based on cooperative self-organizing mechanisms. The general objective is then to develop a complete programming language in which each instruction is an autonomous agent trying to be in a cooperative state with the other agents of the system, as well as with the environment of the system. The work presented here aims at showing the feasibility of such a concept by specifying, and experimenting with, a core of instruction-agents needed for a sub-set of mathematical calculus.
