Exploring the perceived benefits and potential challenges of the autonomous vehicle rollout in Australia
The integration of fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) into society represents a significant technological transformation in the transport and logistics industry, particularly following advancements in electric vehicles (EVs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study explores key societal and industry perspectives on the AV rollout, focusing on those who might be impacted in Australia. Through focus groups and semi-structured interviews, 82 participants were involved across society and industry, government, and academic sectors to examine perceived benefits and challenges associated with AV rollout in Australia. Thematic analysis, grounded in sociotechnical systems (STS) theory, identified six themes aligned with social, technical, political, and organisational dimensions. Findings revealed mixed perceptions, with both benefits and challenges identified across social themes and one technical theme. In contrast, the second technical and external themes – related to government readiness and Big Tech control – were exclusively challenges. The study highlights the complexity of potential challenges and perceived benefits and the uncertainties surrounding social, technical, and external factors in Australia that may only be fully understood as AV adoption increases. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the processes of society and industry shaping the future of mobility in Australia.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour focuses on the behavioural and psychological aspects of traffic and transport. The aim of the journal is to enhance theory development, improve the quality of empirical studies and to stimulate the application of research findings in practice. TRF provides a focus and a means of communication for the considerable amount of research activities that are now being carried out in this field. The journal provides a forum for transportation researchers, psychologists, ergonomists, engineers and policy-makers with an interest in traffic and transport psychology.
