Abstract

Fully automated car is expected to be publicly available for most people to use in the near future. Although there are many advantages of a fully automated car comparing to a traditional driven car, there are some people dare not use the fully automated car. In this risky situation, trust in a fully automated car is an important factor that affects intention to use fully automated car. This research aims to study how 1) dispositional trust in automation affects intention to use a fully automated car 2) ability to drive a vehicle affects intention to use a fully automated car 3) understanding of how fully automated car works affects intention to use a fully automated car and 4) to compare intention to use a fully automated car before and after getting knowledge of how fully automated car works. The study used quantitative method. Questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. 108 undergraduate students were participated in this study. Multiple Regression Analysis and Paired-samples T-test were used to test the research hypotheses. The findings show that 1) dispositional trust positively affects intention to use a fully automated car, 2) ability to drive a vehicle negatively affects intention to use a fully automated car, 3) understanding of how fully automated car work positively affects intention to use a fully automated car, and 4) there is no statistically significant difference between intention to use a fully automated car before training and after training.
