Global drivers and barriers to the public acceptance of autonomous vehicles: Evidence from 17 countries

arXiv:2607. 14436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study investigated the public acceptance of Society of Automotive Engineers Level 3 conditionally automated cars, which can self-drive under certain specified conditions but require the human driver to remain ready to resume control when requested.

Human-Centered Reflections on Care Robots: A Comparative Study of Caregiver Perspectives

Care robots are increasingly being introduced into healthcare settings, raising important questions about their acceptance and ethical implementation. To better understand these challenges, this study investigates caregivers' perceptions of four categories of care robots: delivering supplies, helping patients into bed, monitoring vital signs, and assisting with mobility.

LLM-Driven Autonomous Vehicles Inherit Human Driver Biases in Pedestrian Yielding: Results and Implications From A New Benchmark

The paper investigates how large language and visual‑language models used in autonomous vehicles inherit human driver biases when deciding whether to yield to pedestrians. It introduces two new bias‑testing methods—All Else Being Equal and Self‑Consistency tests—to evaluate these models. Results reveal that the models’ yielding decisions are influenced by pedestrian attributes such as gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, skin tone, and socio‑economic status, with varying patterns across models.

Distributional Validity and Calibration of a Korean Synthetic Persona Panel for Digital and AI Service Use: A Secondary-Data Validation Against the Korea Media Panel Survey

The study evaluates a Korean synthetic persona panel (NVIDIA Nemotron‑Personas‑Korea) conditioned on Gemini 3.5 Flash and EXAONE against the KISDI Korea Media Panel Survey. Across eight digital‑AI service‑use indicators and eight innovativeness constructs, the panels achieved mean absolute errors of 15–19 pp, with segment‑level errors up to 52.4 pp and correlation coefficients between 0.69 and 0.90. Holdout calibration reduced sex‑by‑age cell errors but still lagged behind direct real‑data estimation, indicating that synthetic panels are useful diagnostically but not as survey substitutes.
