Most drivers fear autonomous cars, AAA study says

articleAttitudes toward autonomous cars have taken a turn for the worse. A new survey by AAA found that 68% of Americans "fear" the technology, an increase of 13% from last year. FILE-A driver rides hands-free in a Tesla Motors Inc. Model S vehicle equipped with Autopilot hardware and software in New York. The only true autonomous cars currently in use are operated through ride-hailing and delivery services, like those run by Cruise and Waymo, which operate within clearly defined areas in some cities and are monitored by a central control office. Despite the concerns about fully autonomous vehicles, AAA said that six in ten drivers would "definitely" or "probably" want their next vehicle to be equipped with an ADAS.
