Abstract
Older adults' road safety is a concern given the ageing population and increasing numbers of licensed older drivers. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) are designed to improve safety, however little is known about the relationship between ADAS use and its trust and acceptance in older adults. The purpose of this study was to assesses an instrument of older driver acceptance of and trust in ADAS. A survey distributed to 1008 older Australian drivers (M = 72.1, SD = 6.94) found there was an overwhelmingly positive attitude towards ADAS, however trust in the systems were low and drivers had concerns with privacy, safety and failure of the systems. The Partial Automation Acceptance Scale was validated, producing a four-factor model measuring attitudes towards ADAS, attitudes towards technology, trust and perceptions on risk. Multiple regression showed three of the four factors predict use of ADAS, providing preliminary evidence of the validity and reliability of the scale.
