In a new AAA survey, 68% of drivers this year are more fearful of riding in a self-driving vehicle than the 55% reported in 2022.\nThe survey found there are a lot of misconceptions about autonomous vehicles, including the perception that an operator can sleep behind the wheel of a self-driving vehicle.\nAAA notes that social media recordings of drivers abusing driver assistance technology may be to blame for the idea.\nAdditionally, the poll revealed that consumers are confused by the names manufacturers have given their vehicle systems.\n22% of Americans believe autonomous driving systems with names like Autopilot, ProPILOT, or Pilot Assist can operate a vehicle independently without human intervention.
