Four in five drivers surveyed in America, Australia, and Great Britain believe connectivity will improve fuel economy and result in safer and less congested motoring, according to an online poll by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
An even higher proportion express interest in having vehicles with connectivity, even though more than two-thirds admit they know nothing about such technology.
UMTRI's survey finds a stronger positive attitude in the U.K. (67%) and Australia (63%) than in the U.S. (57%). About one-third of respondents are neutral about connectivity.
But more than half of respondents express moderate or strong concern about privacy and possible security breaches or system failures, especially during bad weather. Many of those polled fret that drivers will rely too heavily on the technology and may be distracted by it.
