Users’ Perception of Data Privacy in Self-Driving Vehicles in Dubai

The concerns surrounding AV adoption encompass the data protection factor. An online survey was conducted to gain insights into this concern, targeting UAE residents with knowledge about Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology. The collected data were subjected to statistical analysis to provide valuable information for the UAE government and private sectors. To achieve this goal, we conducted a statistical analysis of the collected data, which resulted in further insights regarding the obstacles impeding the adoption of AV technologies in the United Arab Emirates. This analysis further quantifies the factors that contributed to UAE public concerns. We also examined user group evaluations in terms of their propensity to employ the technology in the future.
