Consumer adoption of autonomous vehicles in China: a bibliometric review of intention drivers and perceptions

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are playing an increasing role in digitally enabled transportation systems with the dramatic emergence of related technologies. Consumer adoption is arguably a key factor in the deployment of AVs in China. In this study, bibliometric analysis was used to explore intention drivers regarding consumer adoption of AVs and the role of consumer perception in the decision-making process from the perspective of Chinese consumers. The results revealed that consumer perception is a highly critical factor influencing the adoption of AVs. Moreover, most Chinese consumers were more sensitive to perceived losses than to gains. In addition, the main public focus was on highly intelligent shared AVs rather than family-use vehicles. These findings could help governments and enterprises gain a deeper understanding of consumer behavior in the Chinese market, which could be used as a reference for implementing measures to better accelerate the diffusion of AVs.
