Abstract

This study surveyed 1088 Texans to understand their opinions about smart vehicle technologies. Key findings indicate average willingness to pay (WTP) for Level 2, 3, and 4 automation and connectivity, along with affordability and equipment failure as top concerns. Econometric models (interval regression and ordered probit) explored correlations between opinions and demographics, built environment, travel patterns, and crash histories. Results revealed that more experienced drivers and older people showed lower WTP, aiding in forecasting CAV adoption and informing transportation planning strategies.
