Also, in this relationship, it was confirmed that driving experience moderated the relationship between performance expectation and acceptance intention, and between effort expectation and acceptance intention.
Conclusion: Understanding the public's acceptance of autonomous mobility services, and suggesting strategic implications for the direction of service development to companies that are pushing to enter the autonomous mobility service market.
