<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Hello,<br>
<br>
Researchers at Clemson University are currently soliciting responses for an online survey to gauge the opinions of people who identify as persons with disabilities about Automated Driving System-Dedicated Vehicles (ADS-DVs) - often referred to as "self-driving
vehicles". Your participation will help engineers and policymakers better understand the needs and concerns of individuals with disabilities in designing ADS-DV technology and in writing related ADS-DV policies.<br>
<br>
If you are an individual with a disability (e.g., sensory, cognitive, motor, etc.) we would greatly appreciate your participation. Respondents will be entered into a drawing for a $300 gift card. For additional information regarding the risks and benefits
of the survey or to complete the survey itself please <a href="https://clemson.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3aQymxMx31PUr8q">
click this link to take the survey</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

will be directed to the start of the survey itself on the Clemson University System.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
