The Devil is in the Details - Trust Development During Initial Usage of an Automated Vehicle

processes differs between different individuals. Therefore, this paper investigates how user trust develops during first-time usage of an automated vehicle. Nineteen participants experienced a fully automated vehicle on a test track and information on the participants’ trust was collected by interviews
and an especially for the experiment developed tool, the ‘Trust Curve’. The Trust Curve was used to understand how the user’s trust changes over-time during initial usage. The findings identified two main trust formation processes; one Inconsistent process, i.e. trust increases and decreases several times
during the interaction with the AV, and one Consistent process, i.e. trust continuously increases/decreases or are unchanged during the interaction with the AV. Thus, findings indicate that users develop trust in different ways which may lead to implications regarding how users obtain a proper level of trust as well as how to design AVs for different groups of users.
