SUMMARY:Exploring the Relationship Between Self-Efficacy, Driving Experien
 ce, and Trust in Older Adults’ Willingness to Adopt Fully Autonomous Vehic
 les
DESCRIPTION:Emily Parcell and Bruce Walker (Georgia Institute of Technolog
 y)\n\nIn general, older adults tend to be less trusting and more hesitant 
 to adopt various kinds of technologies, especially in relation to their yo
 unger counterparts. However, technology is becoming increasingly necessary
  in daily life. One emerging technology that may provide a significant ben
 efit to the population is self-driving cars, or autonomous vehicles (AVs).
  AVs are expected to decrease the number of on-road accidents, increase th
 e productivity of commuters, and increase the mobility of populations that
  may otherwise have limited transportation options, such as older adults. 
 Based on previous literature, we hypothesized that previous driving experi
 ence, self-efficacy, trust, and technology acceptance would be significant
  predictors of an individual's intent to use AVs and that this relationshi
 p would be stronger for older adults than younger ones. This study include
 d 255 adults, split into younger adult and older adult age groups. A linea
 r regression model was tested on both age groups. As hypothesized, the mod
 el was significant for both samples; furthermore, model fit was higher for
  the older group. This study provides further support for the growing body
  of literature that supports the importance of self-efficacy, trust, and d
 riving experience when considering older adults’ willingness to adopt AVs.
