“…Differences in opinions between stakeholders and the public regarding CAV deployment can offer decision-makers a more comprehensive understanding of the overall landscape. This is because stakeholder opinions and public opinions can differ on the deployment of CAVs, hence the requirements and challenges [68]. Although this study revealed variations in stakeholders' attitudes and perspectives towards CAV implementation, these observations were derived from qualitative analysis of open-ended responses, lacking quantitative validation.…”

The introduction of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) has the potential to bring numerous advantages to urban mobility. However, many challenges for road infrastructure need to be overcome before those benefits can be achieved. This study addressed multiple dimensions of the implications of CAV deployment for road infrastructure through a comprehensive survey with 168 experts from different sectors and regions around the world. The issues are grouped into five categories: (1) key challenges of accommodating CAVs in existing urban transport networks; (2) infrastructure improvement required for shared CAV models; (3) maintenance aspects of infrastructure for CAVs; (4) implementation time of infrastructure support for CAVs; and (5) financing infrastructure upgrades to facilitate CAVs on the roads. The outcomes of the research show that there is still no consensus among the stakeholders on what should be considered to maximise CAV benefits for society as a whole. This indicates the necessity for cooperation between stakeholders to achieve the safe and efficient operation of CAVs. Overall, this study provides in‐depth insights for decision‐makers and transport planners to form policies, regulations, and guidelines regarding the future implementation of CAVs for roads before their commercialisation phase.

“…The results of the survey found that respondents in age group (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) and (25-34) have more interest in AVs 43.2% and 50% respectively, including the neutral responses. Interest trend gradually decreased until it reached 15% for respondents over 65þ (see Fig.…”

“…Likewise, Parkin et al [22] in their study demonstrated that ensured scenarios, which enable AVs to give way to pedestrians and cyclists in complex maneuvering, will result in high scores of participants' trust to AVs. Overall, there were various survey studies on people's acceptance of future AVs, regardless of being drivers, passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists [23][24][25][26][27]. This paper will act as a completion study to the previous works so as to discover the up-to-date opinions and willingness of expected AV users, and acquire more trust by the society individuals to shift to the new transport technology.…”

“…Figure 1a displays the percentages of respondents' ages which have been divided into six groups. These are 8.8% for age group (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) The reason behind that may generally be the incapability of having their own cars at this age, thus lacking the trend to the overall topic of autonomous vehicle. Later, these groups were further divided by gender to give a collective percentage of females 54.6%, and a percentage of males 45.4% as shown in the same figure.…”

The integration of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) into our modern society hinges on gaining widespread acceptance from potential road users. To indicate the preparedness of these road users and elucidate their perspectives regarding the use of AVs in future, it is imperative to conduct surveys gauging public acceptance and satisfaction with this emerging mode of transportation. This paper reports the results of a comprehensive questionnaire study involving 1,000 individuals in Gyor City. The survey's primary objective was to assess participants' attitudes and willingness to embrace autonomous vehicles within the city's road networks. The study delved into various socio-demographic factors, such as age, gender, and employment status, while also exploring participants' prior knowledge and opinions regarding the advantages and limitations of AVs. The findings reveal a generally favorable disposition among the public toward the inclusion of AVs in urban traffic, paving the way for the acceptance of mixed traffic patterns. Notably, respondents in younger age groups exhibit greater enthusiasm for incorporating AVs into their daily transportation, whereas individuals aged 65 and above express more reservations, displaying a conservative outlook. Furthermore, participants with prior knowledge and a deeper understanding of AVs exhibit a markedly more positive inclination toward this emerging technology compared to those lacking such familiarity.

“…Some studies have focused on the link between public and academic attention. For example, scholars contrasted public and expert perspectives on autonomous vehicles, aiding academics in directing future research and addressing public apprehensions about self-driving technology [ 8 ]. Other scholars examined the influence of professional and public opinions on restaurants to understand their impact [ 9 ].…”
