Decision-making self-driving car control algorithms: Intelligent transportation systems, sensing and computing technologies, and connected autonomous vehicles

Abstract

Based on an in-depth survey of the literature, the purpose of the paper is to better understand the relationship between intelligent transportation systems, sensing and computing technologies, and connected autonomous vehicles. Using and replicating data from AAA, ANSYS, Atomik Research, Axios, Ipsos, BCG, Capgemini Research Institute, and Schoettle & Sivak (2014), I performed analyses and made estimates regarding consumer attitudes toward autonomous vehicles and similar technology (%), consumer willingness to buy autonomous cars (%), and top 5 activities that urban/suburban and millennial consumers would like to engage in while in a self-driving car (%). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
