Resumo

Há uma grande especulação de que os veículos autônomos (VAs) irão melhorar as condições do tráfego urbano, aumentando a mobilidade, reduzindo as emissões e trazendo segurança. No entanto, a aceitação do público representa um fator chave para o sucesso desta tecnologia. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma breve revisão das percepções do público sobre VAs e foca em como fatores como dados demográficos, segurança, ética, responsabilidade e a pandemia de COVID-19 podem impactar a aceitação desta forma de mobilidade. No geral, descobriu-se que os homens jovens e com maior escolaridade são mais propensos a adotar VAs, enquanto as preocupações com segurança, ética e responsabilidade podem impactar negativamente na percepção das pessoas sobre eles.
