- Abstract summary: This study analyzed a travel survey to anticipate the impact of autonomous vehicles on long-distance trips.
Using AVs for pleasure trips can increase the number of travelers and stimulate people to choose longer distances.
For business trips, AV technology can reduce travel costs and job-related stress.

- Abstract: Although rapid progress in-vehicle automated technology has sped up the
possibility of using fully automated technology for public use, little research
has been done on the possible influences of autonomous vehicles (AVs)
technology on long-distance travel. This technology has the potential to have a
significant effect on intercity trips. This study analyzed a travel survey to
anticipate the impact of this technology on long-distance trips. We have
divided trips into two different categories including trips for pleasure and
trips for business. Different hypotheses based on the authors' knowledge and
assisted by existing literature have been defined for each type of trip. By
using the Pearson method these hypotheses have been tested and the positive or
negative responses from respondents have been evaluated. The findings show that
using AVs for pleasure trips can increase the number of travelers and stimulate
people to choose longer distances for their trips. In addition, people enjoy
more and will be interested to travel more frequently. For business trips, AV
technology can reduce travel costs and job-related stress. Unlike pleasure
trips for which people are not interested in traveling at night, business
travelers prefer to travel at night.

Semi-cooperative behaviors are intrinsic properties of human drivers and should be considered for autonomous driving.
New autonomous planners can consider the social value orientation (SVO) of human drivers to generate socially-compliant trajectories.
We present study of implicit semi-cooperative driving where agents deploy a game-theoretic version of iterative best response.
