Most Americans are still afraid to ride in self-driving cars
“Automated vehicle technology is evolving on a very public stage and, as a result, it is affecting how consumers feel about it,” Greg Brannon, AAA’s director of automotive engineering and industry relations, said in a statement.The automotive group said bridging the gap between the perception of automated vehicle technology and the reality of how it works currently in cars may help consumers feel more comfortable.
The group stressed that experience seems to play a pivotal role in how drivers feel about automated vehicle technology, and that regular interaction with advanced driver assistance systems components like lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and self-parking, considered the building blocks for self-driving vehicles, significantly improve consumer comfort level.
The survey also found that consumers are receptive to the idea of the new vehicle technology in limited applications. For example, about half of those surveyed said they were comfortable with low-speed, short distance forms of transportation, like people movers found at airports or theme parks, and 44 % said they were comfortable with fully self-driving vehicles for delivery services.
