It’s easy to understand the appeal of self-driving cars, and for a few years, industry investment seemed to suggest that they were an inevitability. As the size of the challenge, and the consequences of over-promising have become more widely known, though, trust in the technology has fallen. That’s the conclusion that AAA came to after its most recent survey of attitudes towards self-driving cars.
