user acceptance

This study was designed to investigate how many Finnish drivers with new cars have ADAS in their vehicles, and how frequently and in which context they use those systems, ACC and Lane Keeping (LKA) in particular. In addition, the impacts of these systems were to be assessed. Moreover, limitations of the current systems, willingness to have the systems in the future, and willingness to pay for such systems or higher automation levels were of interest.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the opinions of Finnish car drivers and experts of traffic safety and automated driving on uptake and acceptance of automated vehicles in Finland. The opinions were collected by on line surveys. Altogether 1 154 drivers participated the survey. The sample represented Finnish drivers well. Finnish drivers are quite familiar with the self driving vehicles, at least in some level. The general opinion on self driving vehicles varies quite a lot.
