CITYGUIDE: TRUST & SELF–CONFIDENCE
We are interested in your judgments of how trustworthy you believe the technology to be. In addition, we are interested in how much self–confidence you have in your ability to do things yourself.
First, think about your trust in people. We all trust some people more than others. If you think about people you know, you can probably think of some you trust very much and others you trust much less. We do not trust all people equally, and we can express how much we trust a particular person.
We also think about trusting things, such as products. For example, I trust my car to start in the morning because it has never failed to do so. I trust my spouse's car much less because of a history of trouble.
Similar to trust, we can also consider the self–confidence in our own abilities. For example, you might have a great deal of self–confidence in your ability to walk to work because you have been doing it every day for several years.
If you think about it for a moment, we could rate our degree of trust and self–confidence in many of the things we use on a scale like those shown below. So let's rate a few functions that may be available in your vehicle in the future. Marking toward the 100 would indicate that a statement strongly applies. Marking toward the 0 would indicate it does not apply.
1a. I would trust a navigation system to guide me through an unfamiliar city.
1b. I have confidence in my ability to navigate myself through an unfamiliar city.
2a. I would trust a navigation system to guide me through a familiar city (e.g., home town).
2b. I have confidence in my ability to navigate myself through a familiar city (e.g, home town).
3a. I would trust a warning system to notify me of icy roads.
3b. I have confidence in my ability to identify icy roads based on my own experience.
4a. I would trust a navigation system to guide me through an unfamiliar city to the airport on time.
4b. I have confidence in my ability to navigate myself through an unfamiliar city to the airport on time.
5a. I would trust a new automatic route guidance system to avoid highway congestion.
5b. I have confidence in my ability to avoid highway congestion based upon my own observation of traffic.
6a. I would trust an in-vehicle service directory to locate a restaurant in an unfamiliar town.
6b. I have confidence in my ability to locate a restaurant in an unfamiliar town.
7a. I would trust a navigation program to locate an acceptable hotel in an unfamiliar town.
7b. I have confidence in my own ability to locate an acceptable hotel in an unfamiliar town.
8a. I would trust a navigation program to select a route that avoids highways.
8b. I have confidence in my own ability to select a route that avoids highways.
