“…An Australian study [74] indicated that trust significantly predicted intention to use AV after a group of local community people undertook a simulator drive. A study from New Zealand [75] analysed posts from Facebook during the period 2015-2020 and revealed that trust, along with car culture and driving pleasure, influenced the adoption of AVs.…”

Fewer studies have investigated the factors affecting fully Automated Vehicles (AVs) acceptance and their association with demographics and travel behaviour in the Australian context. Evidence shows that public opinions and adoption towards AVs may vary by country. Therefore, this study aims to systematically explore the factors affecting public opinion towards fully AVs by conducting a survey in Australia. Specifically, the study examines seven key attributes (benefits/usefulness, ease of use, attitude, data privacy, willingness to pay more, social influence, and trust) towards the opinions of AVs and their association between demographic and travel behaviour. The results from 809 Australian responses show that Australians tend to have a positive attitude toward AVs. Age and years of driving experience are the two most important factors instead of travel characteristics (e.g. frequency of driving cars, travel time by car, and distance of driving cars). Being less exposed to automation technology is likely to be the main reason affecting the adoption of AVs for the two socio‐demographic factors: age and years of driving experience. Males hold a relatively positive attitude towards AVs than females. Likewise, Australians are less likely to pay more for fully AVs than conventional vehicles. Data privacy is also concerning for Australians.

Automobile culture is the combination of automobile industry and culture industry. Automobile brand is the precipitation of automobile culture and the basis of existence of automobile enterprises. The construction of automobile culture brand is the most important part of automobile production enterprises. This is an idea, an attitude, but also a culture. The shaping of a brand not only requires the enterprises to set long-term goals and stay out of trouble, but also needs the enterprises to take the initiative to shoulder the social and consumer responsibilities, and more importantly, needs the automobile enterprises to establish a good corporate culture. Based on the vision of industrial convergence, this paper studies the brand construction of automobile culture. On the basis of analyzing the development trend of our country's automobile industry during the 14th five-year plan, this paper further analyzes the automobile culture, the brand culture and the automobile brand. Through the establishment of the automobile product culture brand, this paper explains the important significance of the automobile brand to the automobile enterprise, and puts forward the realization path of the construction and effective development of the automobile culture brand, in order to achieve the automotive enterprises to obtain social recognition, in the fierce competition in the invincible goal.

This study aims to investigate people’s perceptions and opinions on Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and the key factors that influence their Behavioral Intention (BI) to purchase and use AVs. Data were sourced from the 2019 California Vehicle Survey to explore the determinants of AV purchase. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) of stated intentions is estimated to validate a theoretical framework drawn on relevant bodies of literature. The descriptive statistics show that many people are already aware of AVs. Many people also think that traveling by AVs is enjoyable, safe, and effective, although some of them would miss the joy of driving and would not entrust a driverless AV to shuttle their children. Results from the SEM indicate that being working-age adults, having children, household income, per capita income, and educational attainment are attributes positively associated with AV purchase intention. Similarly, psychological factors (e.g., perceived enjoyment, usefulness, and safety), prior knowledge of AVs, and experience with emerging technologies (e.g., electric vehicles) significantly enhance BI to purchase AVs. This study finds that family structure and psychological factors are the most influential factors of AV purchase intention, and more so than the built environment, transportation, and other socioeconomic factors.
