Fear of fully self-driving vehicles is on the rise in the United States. That is the headline finding in the American Automobile Association’s annual survey on automated driving for 2023. No less than 68% of respondents said they were afraid of driverless tech, a rise of 13% from the same survey last year and the most significant change since 2020. One measure AAA thinks would help improve trust is a more diligent approach from automakers in promoting the benefits of advanced vehicle technologies, including the consistent naming of systems available to consumers. “AAA seeks to partner with automakers to create greater consistency across the industry,” Bannon said.
