Abstract

This paper investigates perceptions of what semi-autonomous vehicles such as Smart powered-wheelchairs are and whether perception has changed. Information about semi-autonomous vehicles (especially powered-wheelchairs) was analysed to investigate how concepts and their benefits are perceived. Some common understanding is found, but there is uncertainty about whether autonomous/semi-autonomous implies automatic/un-manned. There is a tendency to distinguish between semi-autonomous and un-manned but that distinction does not appear to be made in the minds of everyday people. Implications of this are discussed.
