The automation technology is emerging, but the adoption rate of autonomousvehicles (AV) will largely depend upon how policymakers and the governmentaddress various challenges such as public acceptance and infrastructuredevelopment. This study proposes a five-step method to understand thesebarriers to AV adoption. First, based on a literature review followed bydiscussions with experts, ten barriers are identified. Second, the opinions ofeighteen experts from industry and academia regarding inter-relations betweenthese barriers are recorded. Third, a multicriteria decision making (MCDM)technique, the grey-based Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory(Grey-DEMATEL), is applied to characterize the structure of relationshipsbetween the barriers. Fourth, robustness of the results is tested usingsensitivity analysis. Fifth, the key results are depicted in a causal loopdiagram (CLD), a systems thinking approach, to comprehend cause-and-effectrelationships between the barriers. The results indicate that the lack ofcustomer acceptance (LCA) is the most prominent barrier, the one which shouldbe addressed at the highest priority. The CLD suggests that LCA can be rathermitigated by addressing two other prominent, yet more tangible, barriers --lack of industry standards and the absence of regulations and certifications.The study's overarching contribution thus lies in bringing to fore multiplebarriers to AV adoption and their potential influences on each other. Moreover,the insights from this study can help associations related to AVs prioritizetheir endeavors to expedite AV adoption. From the methodological perspective,this is the first study in transportation literature that integratesGrey-DEMATEL with systems thinking.
