Most drivers in England are uncertain about autonomous cars, according to a new poll commissioned by Robert Bosch GmbH.
Among respondents, 53% say they would feel unsafe riding in a driverless car. Seven in 10 assert they would not consider buying such a vehicle, even though most believe autonomous cars could reduce accidents.
Men are twice as likely as women (44% vs. 21%) to agree that self-driving cars cars would make the roads safer. About two-thirds of all motorists polled like such autonomous-enabling technologies as adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, predictive emergency braking and driver drowsiness detection.
Men are more likely than women (33% vs. 19%) to say riding in an autonomous car would be just as enjoyable as driving themselves. Half of drivers under the age of 35 agree that both modes would be equally satisfying four times the proportion of motorists over the age of 55, according to Bosch.
