Abstract: The automotive market has been developing very dynamically recently. Contemporary trends focus on the development of the so-called intelligent vehicles, often combined with modern technology and supporting systems. Cars with a large scope of operation in terms of driving autonomy can increasingly be found. These types of solutions can lead to changes in production processes through the emergence and growing importance of new concepts and technologies. The article presents the concept of BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) and PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) vehicles in relation to modern solutions and their levels of autonomy. The research was conducted in various groups of respondents, while the analyses were carried out mainly with the use of two grouping variables: gender and place of residence. Based on our own research, it can be concluded that due to many different factors, most respondents believe that PHEV hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles (BEV) are currently, and will most likely be in the near future, the dominant type of vehicles appearing on roads in Poland, at the same time indicating the level of advancement of autonomy as average (mainly level 1, 2 and 3).
