AAA Survey Reveals Public Anxiety about Self-Driving Cars

Source Node: 2005050

Self-driving cars have been a hot topic in the news lately, and a recent survey conducted by AAA reveals that the public is feeling anxious about the technology. The survey, which was conducted in the United States, found that 78% of respondents were afraid to ride in a self-driving car.

The survey also found that the majority of respondents (71%) felt that self-driving cars were not yet ready for public roads. This is understandable, as self-driving cars are still in the early stages of development and many people are concerned about their safety.

The survey also revealed that the public’s perception of self-driving cars is largely based on media reports. Nearly half of respondents (45%) said they had seen negative news stories about self-driving cars, while only 18% had seen positive stories. This suggests that the public’s perception of self-driving cars is largely shaped by what they see in the media.

Despite the public’s anxiety about self-driving cars, the survey also found that many people are interested in the technology. Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64%) said they would be willing to ride in a self-driving car if it was available today.

The survey results show that while the public is anxious about self-driving cars, there is still a lot of interest in the technology. It is important for automakers and tech companies to continue to educate the public about the safety and benefits of self-driving cars in order to build trust and acceptance. With continued research and development, self-driving cars could become a reality sooner than we think.
