Just one in ten drivers say they would trust a vehicle to drive itself while they are in it. AAA shares this information with automakers, government officials and the driving public to provide a current snapshot of awareness and attitudes surrounding AV capabilities. For years, AAA has called for standardized technology names that clearly indicate what a system can or cannot do. Millennials (60%) are less likely to be afraid of riding in an autonomous vehicle, compared with 77% of Baby Boomers. Fully autonomous vehicles are classified as Level 5 automation, according to a standard developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
