Fears Of Self-Driving Cars On The Rise

waymo-autonomous-vehicle-1024x768

A new survey from AAA shows that Americans are becoming more apprehensive about fully self-driving cars. At the same time, people are very interested in partially-automated vehicle technologies, which are widely available on newer vehicles.

This year’s survey finds that 68% are afraid of fully autonomous vehicles. This is a 13% jump from 55% in our 2022 survey – the biggest increase since 2020. Nine in ten (91%) U.S. drivers either would be afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle (68%) or are unsure about it (23%). Only one in ten (9%) say they would trust a vehicle to drive itself while they are in it. AAA has done the Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Survey every year since 2016.
