Do citizens, media and policymakers share the same view on autonomous cars? In the present paper, we analyse data from media articles, a Eurobarometer survey, and policy documents, to understand the perspective of different stakeholders when it comes to autonomous cars. We find significant differences between the groups, with a predominance of negative sentiments in news articles and a majority of citizens being wary of autonomous cars, while the political narrative mostly carries a positive tone. The findings highlight a dichotomous perspective about this potentially disruptive technology. This may represent a problem as the benefits of adopting autonomous cars will only come to surface if all actors are engaged and see the advantages they can bring to people's daily lives. We conclude by encouraging policymakers to promote initiatives to engage citizens in the transformation of road transport and other stakeholders to be advertised the positive implications of autonomous vehicles.
公民、媒体和政策制定者对自动驾驶汽车的看法是否一致？在本文中，我们分析了来自媒体文章、欧洲晴雨表调查和政策文件的数据，以了解不同利益相关者在自动驾驶汽车问题上的观点。我们发现不同群体之间存在显著差异，新闻文章中负面情绪占主导，大多数公民对自动驾驶汽车持谨慎态度，而政治叙事大多呈现积极基调。这些发现凸显了对于这项可能具有颠覆性的技术的二元观点。这可能会成为一个问题，因为只有当所有参与者都参与进来并看到自动驾驶汽车能给人们日常生活带来的好处时，采用自动驾驶汽车的益处才会显现出来。我们的结论是鼓励政策制定者推动相关举措，让公民参与到道路运输变革中来，并促使其他利益相关者宣传自动驾驶车辆的积极影响。
