Area of Science:

Gerontology
Human-Computer Interaction
Transportation Technology

Background:

Declining driving abilities in older adults can impact community mobility and independence.
Previous research primarily focused on attitudes towards automated driving technologies, not actual usage.
Automated driving systems offer potential solutions for maintaining mobility in aging populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate older Australians' perceptions and experiences with automated vehicle technologies.
To assess ease of use, usefulness, safety, acceptance, trust, and confidence in automated driving.
To understand the impact of a real-life driving experience on these perceptions.

Main Methods:

Mixed-methods approach combining observation, questionnaires, and interviews.
Inclusion of a 6-km test drive in a partially automated vehicle.
Pre- and post-drive questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were conducted.

Main Results:

Most older adults reported positive perceptions and experiences with automated driving technologies.
Pre- and post-drive responses indicated diverse reactions, reflecting individual differences.
The study captured real-world usage experiences, not just theoretical attitudes.

Conclusions:

Automated driving technologies show promise for improving mobility and independence in older age.
The heterogeneity of older adults necessitates diverse approaches to technology adoption.
Further large-scale studies incorporating actual driving experiences are recommended.
