Abstract

The significance of sustainable development and the increasing acknowledgment of climate change-related issues necessitate modifications in the transportation sector, the most polluting of all economic sectors, which is highly reliant on fossil fuels. The transportation sector significantly adversely affects the environment and human health. However, there is still a lack of research in scientific literature confirming the effectiveness of autonomous vehicles. The aim of the article is to examine the experience of autonomous vehicles in society. The primary attitudes of individuals regarding autonomous vehicles were assessed. The research technique involves a statistical examination of elements affecting client apprehensions over the usage of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Results of the research show the impact of autonomous vehicles on the quality of service of transport companies.
