The influence of Anthropomorphism, Interactivity, Perceived Green Value, and Social Influence on pedestrian acceptance of fully autonomous vehicles: The mediating effect of Perceived Risk and Perceived Safety

This study makes several contributions: (a) it expands the FAVs acceptance literature by shifting the focus to pedestrians, an underexplored stakeholder group; (b) it provides an integrated model combining psychological and design-related variables; (c) it offers actionable insights for policymakers and designers to improve human-FAVs interactions. These study findings offer a robust theoretical foundation and practical guidance for advancing safe and inclusive autonomous mobility.
