One of the promises of self-driving vehicles is equity to all social groups. Physically impaired people, people with disabilities, currently face unequal conditions in transportation that restrict their freedom of movement; unfavorably impact their medical, social, and economic life; and even accentuate conditions of social exclusion. Autonomous driving carries the potential to deliver accessibility to transportation and create more favorable living conditions for people with mobility impairments. However, there is still limited research, compared to the general population, addressing the challenges people with mobility disabilities face; the prospects autonomous driving can provide to them; and, more importantly, the attitudes and the perspectives of people with disabilities toward autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving. Nevertheless, such research is of importance since it can inform relevant research and policies and the design of transportation systems advancing social justice and equity. The current article, based on a recent survey, aims at filling the abovementioned gaps concentrating its focus on the Greek context from a user’s perspective.
