Autonomous vehicles (AV) based on artificial intelligence (AI) are one of the most anticipated technological advances of our time, with very important social implications in terms of driver/passenger safety and environmental aspects. However, most consumers are reluctant to adopt these AIs. We analyze, using a survey conducted in France, the adoption of AI-based AV, in order to understand psychological, social and cognitive factors. We show that there is a positive relationship between the adoption of VA and expectations regarding performance, ease of use, social recognition, well-being, hedonism, trust in technology, as well as safety. On the other hand, privacy concerns negatively influence technology trust, well-being, and IL adoption.
