Recent advances in technology have improved the ability of vehicles to act autonomously, thereby enabling the
implementation of these systems into the lives of the everyday consumers. For example, in the past three years
several major vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, and technology companies have announced projects involving
autonomous vehicles (AVs). While the notion of AVs has been popular within the military, the urgency to make
them commonplace has gathered pace as companies outside the auto industry have illustrated the feasibility and
benefits that AVs offer. However, in order to predict user adoption of these autonomous features, attitudes towards
them must be understood. Thus, the purpose of the present work is to develop and validate a scale to quantify trust
towards autonomous vehicles. The data was subjected to a factor analysis with Promax rotation, yielding two
factors. A number of correlations between trust towards autonomous features and personality were also identified.
Finally, differences in trust between autonomous levels were identified.
