A new study reveals that many motorists remain apprehensive about the autonomous car industry.
After 55 percent of respondents said they would be afraid to ride in a vehicle that drives itself last year, AAA now reports that number has jumped by 13 percent to reach 68 percent of respondents.
Many motorists are also confused about the technology of automated vehicles as nearly one in 10 respondents believe that they can buy a vehicle now that drives itself while the driver is asleep.
AAA says that most of this confusion can be traced to advanced driver assistance systems with names like Autopilot which can provide active driving assistance but is not a fully self-driving vehicle.
