先进车辆技术(AVT)旨在通过让驾驶更安全、更容易、更享受来改善老年人(65岁以上)的驾驶体验。特别是，这款自动驾驶汽车被视为对年长人群来说是一项有前途的创新。然而，老年人对自动驾驶汽车的看法以及他们对使用不同级别车辆自动化的态度、担忧和意愿知之甚少。本文利用对1000名65岁及以上加拿大人(居住在加拿大安大略省南部大金马蹄地区)的在线调查结果，旨在识别和量化可能影响老年人使用不同自动化水平的车辆(如半自动驾驶汽车与全自动驾驶汽车；SAV/FAV)的关键因素。通过因子分析和结构方程建模，还确定了几个可能影响老年人使用SAV/FAV的开放程度的因素，包括认为AVT实际上会帮助执行与驾驶相关的任务、参与者对使用SAV/FAV的担忧(主要是对SAV/FAV测试不足的担忧，以及如果SAV/FAV技术故障导致事故则要承担法律责任)、将汽车用作乘客、性别、教育水平以及驾驶方面的辅助需求。此外，近三分之二的参与者报告说，如果AVT失败导致撞车，他们担心责任。这项研究的结果为决策者和汽车制造公司提供了关于老年人使用SAV/FAV的意愿和需求的有价值的见解。
Advanced Vehicle Technologies (AVTs) have been purported to improve the behind-the-wheel experience of older adults (65+ years) by making driving safer, easier, and more enjoyable. The autonomous vehicle, in particular, is viewed as a promising innovation for those in older age groups. However, little is known about how older adults perceive AVTs as well as their attitudes, concerns, and willingness to use different levels of vehicular automation.Using the results of an online survey of 1000 Canadians aged 65 and older (who live in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region, Southern Ontario, Canada), this paper aims to identify and quantify key factors that can affect older adults' willingness to use vehicles with different levels of automation (e.g., semi vs. fully autonomous vehicles; SAV/FAV). Underlying this objective is a need to examine older adults' preferences and concerns for using emerging automotive technologies.Using factor analysis and structural equation modeling, several factors were also identified that can influence older adults' openness to use SAV/FAV including the perception that the AVTs would actually assist with performing driving-related tasks, participant concerns about using SAV/FAV (mainly concerns about inadequate testing on SAV/FAV and being legally responsible if SAV/FAV technology failure causes an accident), using automobile as a passenger, gender, level of education, and the need for assistance with driving. Moreover, almost two thirds of participants reported having concerns about liability if an AVT failed resulting in a crash.Findings of this study provide decision makers and car manufacturing companies with valuable insights regarding older adults' willingness and needs to use SAV/FAV.
