  Autonomous vehicles and other intelligent transport systems have been
evolving rapidly and are being increasingly deployed worldwide. Previous work
has shown that perceptions of autonomous vehicles and attitudes towards them
depend on various attributes, including the respondent's age, education level
and background. These findings with respect to age and educational level are
generally uniform, such as showing that younger respondents are typically more
accepting of autonomous vehicles, as are those with higher education levels.
However the influence of factors such as culture are much less clear cut. In
this paper we analyse the relationship between acceptance of autonomous
vehicles and national culture by means of the well-known Hofstede cultural
model.
