Abstract
Although autonomous vehicles promise many potential benefits such as reducing traffic accidents, saving fuel and preventing traffic congestion, there are also some concerns about autonomous vehicle usage. Adoption and widespread usage of autonomous vehicles can be possible by determining the consumers’ concerns and attitude toward autonomous vehicles. To discover the perceived benefits and concerns about autonomous vehicle usage as well as consumers’ attitude toward autonomous vehicles, an online survey was conducted with 290 people in Turkey. 89% of respondents who attended the survey aware of autonomous vehicles, however only %23 of them have knowledge about this technology. While a majority of the respondents 67% have favourable attitude toward autonomous vehicles, only small portion of them 13% found the idea of autonomous vehicles as unattractive. Providing mobility for elderly and disabled people, free time for doing something else while driving, and safe drive for drunk or ill people are among the most indicated benefits of autonomous vehicles. The results also indicated that respondents are most concerned about system and vehicle security from hackers. Despite the concerns, consumers have favourable intention to use autonomous vehicles

Abstract
Sürücüsüz araçlar, trafik kazalarını azaltmak, yakıt tasarrufu sağlamak ve trafik sıkışıklığını azaltmak gibi sürücülere birçok potansiyel fayda sunmakla birlikte sürücülerin bu araçlara uyumu ile ilgili bazı kaygıları da beraberinde getireceği bir gerçektir. Sürücüsüz araç teknolojinin benimsenmesi ve kullanımının yaygınlaşabilmesi için kullanıcıların sürücüsüz araçlarına yönelik tutumlarının ve kaygılarının belirlenmesi çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, sürücüsüz araçlar ile ilgili algılanan faydalar ve kaygılar ile birlikte kullanıcıların bu araçları kullanmaya yönelik tutumlarını araştırmak amacı ile Türkiye genelinde 290 kişi ile online anket yapılmıştır. Ankete katılanların, %89’u sürücüsüz araçları daha önce duyduğunu ifade etmiş olmasına rağmen sadece %23’ü sürücüsüz araçlar ile ilgili bilgi sahibi olduğunu bildirmiştir. Sürücüsüz araç teknolojisini ne kadar cazip buldukları katılımcılara sorulduğunda katılımcılarn çoğunluğu %67 olumlu bir yaklaşım sergilemiş, azınlıkta kalan bir kesim %13 ise sürücüsüz araçları cazip bulmamıştır. Yaşlı ve engelli insanların ulaşım problemlerini çözebileceği, seyahat esnasında diğer aktivitelere vakit ayrılabileceği ve alkollü veya hasta iken istenilen yere gitme imkanı verebileceği çoğunluk tarafından beklenilen en önemli faydalar arasında olduğu görülmüştür. Öte yandan, katılımcılar, en fazla bilgisayar korsanlarından kendi araçlarına ve sistem güvenliğine yönelik gelebilecek potansiyel tehditlerinden kaygılanmaktadırlar. Bu ve diğer kaygılara rağmen tüketicilerin sürücüsüz araçları kullanma niyetleri olumlu olarak gözlenmiştir
