As self-driving vehicles shift from sci-fi fantasy to a product available to consumers, most Americans are wary of them being on the road. That number is the same for self-driving vehicles on a highway or freeway and self-driving vehicles on local or neighborhood roads. What will it take to put people’s mind at ease when it comes to sharing the road with self-driving vehicles? Less than a third indicated they would like to see restrictions on times of day and/or days of the week when self-driving vehicles can use the roads. Of those opposed to public testing programs, more than three-quarters are concerned about the safety of sharing the roads with self-driving vehicles.
