Abstract

In the 21st century, with the development of society and the economy, people are paying more and more attention to the special needs of special groups of people, for example, pregnant women’s problem of transportation. As we could imagine, FAV (Fully Automated Vehicles) has the potential to become the measurement of this problem, by improving the safety and flexibility of traffic for pregnant women. However, FAV can only help when women can accept FAV while pregnancy.

According to the existed research, Chinese women have less trust in smart driving technology than men. We need to question: why?

This article will study on factors affecting pregnant women’s acceptance of fully automated vehicles, by showing the participants fully automated driving videos and playing semi-immersive video simulations.

After our work, these theories can counteract the FAV design for pregnant women groups, so that pregnant women’s travel problems can be optimally solved, thereby improving the quality of their life and increasing their employment of FAV and the willingness to buy fully autonomous vehicles. The research in this article aims to explore the relationship between pregnant women’s acceptance of fully automated vehicles, individual internal factors, and weather conditions in the driving environment.
