INTRODUCTION
Self-driving autonomous vehicle is designed to monitor the
roadway and perform all safety-critical driving functions for the
entire trip. The driver will not control. The driver only provide the
destination and the vehicle will take control afterwards.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
There are a skepticisms among regular drivers about
autonomous (self-driving) vehicles. Question about how selfdriving vehicle react to aggressive human drivers or whether
automation could handle road and traffic condition.
LITERATURE REVIEW
What is autonomous vehicles or self driving
cars
Who is the players in developing
autonomous vehicles
Implication of self-driving vehicles
Urban versus Rural difference in accepting
new technologies
Understanding acceptance and perceptions
of new technology
RESEARCH QUESTIONS/HYPOTHESIS?
Quantitative
What area between urban and rural areas has more
acceptance to autonomous vehicles?
H0: There is no significant difference between rural and urban area in terms of autonomous
vehicle acceptance
H1: There is a significant difference between rural and urban area in terms of
autonomous vehicle acceptance

RESEARCH QUESTIONS/HYPOTHESIS?
Qualitative
What are the risk factors such as traffic congestion
or road design, which may relate to autonomous
vehicle safety perceptions?
What sector of the public autonomous vehicles is
considered important?
Why autonomous vehicle has positive or negative
perception?
THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK?
Explanatory Design:
Quantitative then Qualitative Study
Qualitative phenomenology theoretical framework:
the study tends to discover how people experience and
conceptualize certain phenomena (Bogdan & Biklen, 2004)
Quantitative content analysis
METHOD?
POPULATION/SAMPLES/SAMPLING PROCESS
Surveys and In Questionnaires with Commuters:
METHOD?
DATA COLLECTION
Surveys and In Questionnaires with
Commuters:
Quantifiable questions on acceptance and perceptions
of autonomous vehicles
Socio-demographic data will be recorded
METHOD?
DATA ANALYSIS
Quantitative Statistical analysis:
Two sample t-test to identify acceptance difference between urban
and rural regions
Correlation between acceptance and socio demographic data such
as age, gender, income , race/ethnicity
Qualitative Interpretation :
Identify driver safety and risk perceptions for Autonomous vehicles.
Organize and develop relationship among concepts such as
autonomous vehicle acceptance and socio-demographic data: age,
gender, income, race/ethnicity.
Analyze text on interviews, decode, and then discover safety and
risk perceptions of autonomous vehicles.
LIMITATION / DELIMITATION
This study will focus only on commuters in the state of
Michigan
Research quality is heavily dependent on the driver
technology skills and exposure
Acceptance and perceptions is based on information
supplied by the researcher. Participant do not test or
drive autonomous vehicles.
