• Title: Propensity towards Ownership and Use of Automated Vehicles: Who Are the Adopters? Who Are the Non-adopters? Who Is Hesitant?
• Authors: Tho Le, Giovanni Circella,
• Abstract summary: The objective of this study is to investigate automated vehicle (AV) adoption perceptions, including ownership intentions and the willingness to use self-driving mobility services. In this paper, we use data from the 2018 California Transportation Survey, and use K-means, a clustering technique in data mining. The results reveal seven clusters, namely Multitaskers/ environmentalists/ impaired drivers, Tech mavens/ travelers, Life in transition, Captive car-users, Public/ active transport users, Sub-urban Dwellers, and Car enthusiasts.

• Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate automated vehicle (AV) adoption perceptions, including ownership intentions and the willingness to use self-driving mobility services. In this paper, we use data from the 2018 California Transportation Survey, and use K-means, a clustering technique in data mining, to reveal patterns of potential AV owners (and non-owners) as well as AV users (and non-users) of self-driving services. The results reveal seven clusters, namely Multitaskers/ environmentalists/ impaired drivers, Tech mavens/ travelers, Life in transition, Captive car-users, Public/ active transport users, Sub-urban Dwellers, and Car enthusiasts. The first two clusters include adopters who are largely familiar with AVs, are tech savvy, and who make good use of time during their commute. The last cluster comprise of non-adopters who are car enthusiasts. On the other hand, people who are Life in transition, Captive car-users, Public/ active transport users, and Sub-urban dwellers show uncertain perceptions towards being AV adopters. They are either pursuing higher education, having a busy schedule, supporting for sustainable society via government policies, or have a stable life, respectively. Insights from this study help practitioners to build business models and strategic planning, addressing potential market segments of individuals that are willing to own an AV vs. those that are more inclined to use self-driving mobility services. The "gray" segments identify a latent untapped demand and a potential target for marketing, campaigns, and sales.

  The paper presents a multi-stage approach, starting with the development of a single AV and progressing to connected AVs. A survey is conducted to validate the driving performance of the AV and will be utilized for a mixed traffic case study. Results show that using deep reinforcement learning, the AV acquired driving behavior that reached human driving performance. The adoption of sharing and caring based V2V communication within AV networks enhances their driving behavior, aids in more effective action planning, and promotes collaborative behavior amongst the AVs.

• Autonomous Vehicles for All? [4.67081468243647]
  We argue that academic institutions, industry, and government agencies overseeing Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) must act proactively to ensure that AVs serve all. AVs have considerable potential to increase the carrying capacity of roads, ameliorate the chore of driving, improve safety, provide mobility for those who cannot drive, and help the environment. However, they also raise concerns over whether they are socially responsible, accounting for issues such as fairness, equity, and transparency.

We present study of implicit semi-cooperative driving where agents deploy a game-theoretic version of iterative best response.
