The world offers various autonomous systems while there seems to only be a trace of literature evaluating possible mission critical determinants that would affect one’s willingness to accept and adopt said autonomous systems. Developing SE approaches and requirements for mission critical autonomous systems requires a better understanding of the challenges for pre- and post-system acceptance and adoption. Through a literature review, this study examines four main determinants in relation to operator acceptance and adoption: system effectiveness, system transparency, risk-based criticality, and mental workload. A semi-structured interview and theoretical model was created and reviewed to evaluate how the preferences, beliefs held by stakeholders, and factors compared to each other.
