By using behavioral modeling and a modified UTAUT model the main characteristic of AV were evaluated to see which has the biggest positive or negative influence on the behavioral intention. The research results show that elderly in the Netherlands are largely positive towards AV and that there is a preference for the owned AV compared to the shared AV system. It is also revealed that there are significant differences in usage intention between different groups of elderly. This thesis contributes to the research done on the potential impacts of AV and shows that the suggested methods create a valid estimation of the usage intention of AV by elderly.
