Technology features are continually being introduced by automakers to benefit drivers on the road and make driving more efficient.\nAs of right now, there are no such vehicles available for purchase that allow a driver to fully disengage from driving.\n\"Sixty-eight percent of people are afraid of getting in a fully autonomous self-driving vehicle,\" said Elizabeth Carey, AAA's public relations director for Western and Central New York.\nIn a conversation with professor Selmer Bringsjord of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, he would like to know what features car companies plan to implement.\nThe definition of a self-driving car is a vehicle that can drive itself without human interaction at any time.
