چکیده
Abstract Autonomous cars are considered to be the next disruptive innovation that will affect consumers. It can expected not only traditional automakers enter this market (e.g., Ford) but also technology companies Google) and newer dedicated self-driving Tesla). We take a brand extension perspective analyze what extent consumers prefer autonomous from these categories. Our empirical study is based on discrete choice experiments about adopting vehicles in purchase scenario renting context. findings show brands play central role when making driving decisions. Brand preferences differ systematically buying versus car. While most preferred overall, favor automaker over new purchasing, renting. further disentangle strength into marginal effects of image associations. For example, Google’s strong positioning explained by experiences with parent brand, it could still improve highlighting relevance associated portfolio for cars. The effect success factors differs between parent-brand categories purchasing scenarios, which requires management.

Autonomous car driving by a humanoid robot
Enabling a humanoid robot to drive a car, requires the development of a set of basic primitive actions. These include: walking to the vehicle, manually controlling its commands (e.g., ignition, gas pedal and steering), and moving with the whole-body, to ingress/egress the car. In this paper, we present a sensorbased reactive framework for realizing the central part of the complete task, consist...

Documenting the process of consumer attitude formation toward brand extensions has proved elusive, with variations in results between Aaker & Keller’s original study and subsequent replications. This study moves beyond the student sample and adjusts for multicollinearity, providing a robust empirical foundation for generalising components of the original model. It provides general support for t...
