OBJECTIVE: To understand the priorities and preferences of people with disabilities (PwDs) and older adults regarding accessible autonomous vehicles (AVs) to address existing transportation barriers.
DESIGN: Two national surveys, Voice of the Consumer and Voice of the Provider, were conducted to gather feedback from accessible AV consumers and providers, respectively, in the United States.
SETTING: This U.S.-based study focused on PwDs and older adults who may face transportation challenges and those who provide or design AV solutions.
PARTICIPANTS: The 922 consumers and 45 providers in the surveys encompassed a diverse range of disability types, caregiver roles, and age groups (N = 967).
INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcomes were consumer usage needs and provider preferences for features in accessible autonomous transportation. Patterns in usage needs and feature preferences through 2-step clustering algorithm were applied subsequent to the descriptive analysis of participant demographics and their responses.
RESULTS: Participants strongly preferred AV features enhancing personal transportation, especially for rural medical appointments. Most sought comprehensive AV automated features. Wheelchair users emphasized accessible entrances, particularly for lower-income brackets ($25,000-$49,000). Provider priorities closely aligned with consumer preferences, reinforcing content validity.
CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the importance of prioritizing wheelchair accessibility in AVs and improving access to medical appointments, especially in rural and low-income communities. Implications include developing inclusive AV services for PwDs and underserved populations. The research establishes a foundation for a more equitable and accessible transportation landscape through AV technology integration.
