Special seminar［2019/04/10］

Title：Autonomous Vehicles Down Under: An Investigation of Consumer Sentiment in Australia
Speaker：Prof. Stephen Greaves　
Professor and Chair in Transport Management, Institute of Transport & Logistics Studies, University of Sydney
Date & time：2019/04/16, 17:00～18:30
Place：Room 102, Building 8 (North Wing), School of Engineering

Abstract: In common with many nations in the developed world, Australia is considering the potential for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) to tackle various transportation and sustainability challenges. However, consumer sentiment remains unclear with a view that most Australian’s are not ready to accept this technology. This seminar draws from a recent survey of 450 Australians' investigating attitudes and preferences towards AVs and vehicle-sharing. Results suggest that Australians’ are highly polarized in their views on both AVs and sharing. More favourable attitudes towards AVs are associated with younger, male respondents, those who drive less currently and those more open to enjoying life’s pleasures. More negative attitudes prevail with older, female respondents, those who drive more, and less open to new experiences. The seminar concludes with planned future research collaborations with researchers at Nagoya University investigating whether these findings are similar or not for Japanese consumers.
