The objective of this study is to use empirical research methods to measure the social acceptance of automated driving systems from the perspective of safety. Also, influence of accessibility and environmental impact on the social acceptance is measured, including heterogeneity among citizens. The social acceptance can be used to withdraw insights in technical- and normative issues in the implementation of ADS. The ultimate objective of this research is to use social acceptance to contribute to responsible innovation for ADS. Having insights in technical- and normative issues, this research will make recommendations for decision-makers to explore new possibilities and/or improve their work on ADS. Also, an actor analysis is conducted to explore their interrelations and direct recommendations to specific actors. (Author/publisher)
