الوصف: This is a deductive, explanatory study that discusses the technology acceptance and innovation diffusion of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The purpose of the study was to understand whether there exists a sufficient level of acceptance towards the AV technology among consumers for this innovation to begin diffusing into the society. Relevant literature and prior studies on adoption, acceptance, and impacts of the AV technology were reviewed. Empirical research was conducted exploiting quantitative research methods. An online questionnaire was utilized to measure the acceptance of 300 respondents towards AVs using predictor items taken from the Car technology acceptance model (CTAM) and Innovation diffusion theory. The survey results were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model that measured intentions to use AVs, and binary logistic regression that measured willingness to pay (WTP). The main findings include that respondents overall had a slightly favorable view towards AVs. Clear majority of the respondents thought that AVs will be safer and better drivers than regular vehicles. 67.7 percent expressed interest to take a ride in an AV while on average the WTP for a fully autonomous driving system on top of the base price of a vehicle was 3 592 euros. Safety, compatibility and relative advantage had the highest influence on intentions to use and WTP, while demographic variables had a negligible effect. The low level of prior experiences of AVs among the respondents limits the reliability of the results of the study. It is thus likely that the acceptance towards fully autonomous vehicles changes once this technology becomes available to consumers. ; Tämä on deduktiivinen, selittävä tutkimus, joka käsittelee autonomisten ajoneuvojen (AV) käyttöönottohalukkuutta ja innovaatioiden diffuusiota. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää esiintyykö kuluttajien keskuudessa riittävästi hyväksyntää ja käyttöhalukkuutta AV-teknologiaa kohtaan, jotta sen diffuusioprosessi voi käynnistyä. Kirjallisuuskatsaus käsitteli ...
