Drawing on Social Identity Theory and the Perfect Automation Schema, we proposed that autonomous driving systems operated by algorithms are perceived as out-group entities held to extremely high performance standards; consequently, even minor errors caused by autonomous vehicle algorithms may elicit disproportionately negative reactions. We conducted an online experiment employing a 2 (driving agent: algorithm vs. human) \u00d7 2 (error severity: fatal vs. minor) between-subjects design. Participants (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 800) were randomly assigned to read one of four driving error scenarios, and then evaluated the error as well as the driving agent\u2019s trustworthiness. Results revealed a significant interaction between driving agent and error severity. When the error was fatal, both driving agents received highly negative evaluations on both error tolerance and trust. By contrast, when the error was minor, participants were more tolerant of the human error and expressed greater trust in the human driver than in the algorithm. These findings suggest that even minor, noncritical malfunctions in autonomous driving systems can undermine users\u2019 confidence and exacerbate negative evaluations. Overall, this study highlights social and cognitive biases in how people perceive and judge autonomous driving systems, deepening our understanding of the algorithm aversion phenomenon.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/21522715261423989","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,20]],"date-time":"2026-03-20T09:49:31Z","timestamp":1774000171000},"page":"81-87","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Not All Mistakes Are Judged Alike: Error Severity and the Evaluation of Human Drivers and Autonomous Driving Systems"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Yeon Kyoung","family":"Joo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Digital Media, Myongji University, Seoul, South Korea."}]},{"given":"Roselyn J.","family":"Lee-Won","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA."}]},{"given":"Banya","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Media and Communication, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju-si, South Korea."}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","unstructured":"1.Singh S.
