The Impact of Industrial Policy on Public Acceptance of Intelligent Vehicle in Test Site Phase

Abstract

The biggest change that smart cars bring to people's daily travelling is to achieve autonomous driving. In recent years, with the gradual popularisation of assisted driving technology, accidents related to it have often triggered heated discussions among the public, and the public's acceptance of intelligent vehicles greatly depends on its view of autonomous driving. In the test site phase it is difficult for the public to have direct access to the testing process, and the support of industrial policies for test site construction indirectly affects public acceptance. Relying on 720 panel data of 10 cities, this paper constructs a mechanism model of the influence of industrial policy on public acceptance and explores the influence of industrial policy on public acceptance.
