Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) are quickly becoming part of our transportation systems, and their use is largely dependent on public perceptions. The objective of this study was to evaluate perceptions of CAVs. Specifically, understanding the differences between people who have ridden a CAV in downtown Las Vegas (shuttle-rider survey) versus those who have not (general survey) yet. Two different survey questionnaires were used to collect data that was analyzed by using penalized logistic regression. Results suggest that people who had exposure to CAVs feel more positively about CAVs. Similarly, young, highly educated, males feel more positively about CAVs than their respective counterparts.
