Abstract
Objective:
Identify factors that impact parents’ decisions about allowing an unaccompanied child to ride in an autonomous vehicle (AV).

Background:
AVs are being tested in several U.S. cities and on highways in multiple states. Meanwhile, suburban parents are using ridesharing services to shuttle children from school to extracurricular activities. Parents may soon be able to hire AVs to transport children.
