U.S. Drivers Concerned Over Sharing Road With Autonomous Vehicles, Says Study

However, according to one recent study, U.S. drivers are less than keen on the idea of widespread autonomous vehicle adoption. In a recent study between American Automobile Association (AAA) and the Technology and Public Purpose Project at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, U.S. drivers voiced their concern over sharing the road with fully autonomous vehicles. As AAA points out, 38 U.S. states currently have active programs that allow autonomous vehicle testing on public roads. According to the recent survey, support for autonomous vehicle test programs was split, with 34 percent in favor, 36 opposed, and 31 percent unsure.
