*2.2.4 Willingness to use*

In the final section of the survey, parents were asked several questions to indicate their willingness to allow a teenager to use an AV in various contexts without a parent present. This included different destinations as well as different statuses of licensing, such as a learner's permit or a full license. As many parents have more than one child, questions were also posed to gauge willingness to allow younger children to ride with a teenager in an AV unaccompanied by an adult. Parents were then asked if they would prefer for their child to wait to learn to drive until they are older if AVs were a readily available alternative for them. The final question gave a brief explanation of a take-over request, which occurs when an AV needs competent human driver to take over the task of driving due to an unexpected situation [31]. They were then asked if they would feel comfortable letting their child ride unattended in an AV if take-over request training were included in the curriculum to get the learner's permit.
