Six out of ten American drivers are afraid to ride in a self-driving car, according to a new survey by AAA, and only 13% think the development of self-driving technology for cars is a priority. That’s down from two years ago when 18% of Americans thought autonomous vehicles should be a priority, but up from just 9% last year.

Still, 39% of American drivers is still a massive market: about 95 million people.

And a growing market is the number of young people who don’t even bother to get their licenses. While in 1983 46% of 16-year-olds and 62% of 17-year-olds had their driver’s licenses, in 2021, that declined to just 25% and 42%.

This younger demographic might just be more inclined to try and trust self-driving cars.

Self-driving car leader Waymo (a Google sister company) announced last summer that it had passed the 100,000 paid trips per week milestone while operating just in parts of only three cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. In January of this year Waymo announced it was coming to an additional 10 cities, with San Diego, Las Vegas, and Washington DC the first three, and that its paid rides per week metric was up to 150,000.

And Tesla has announced Robotaxi and Robovan, plus a launch date of June 2025 for full unsupervised self-driving. If the company hits that date, it’ll be impressive: most of CEO Elon Musk’s prophecies about self-driving Teslas have not happened on schedule.

While full autonomy may frighten many, most drivers do still want automakers to focus on safety tech.

“Most drivers want automakers to focus on advanced safety technology,” AAA automotive engineering director Greg Brannon said in a statement. “Though opinions on fully self-driving cars vary widely, it’s evident that today’s drivers value features that enhance their safety.”

A majority want their cars to have automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. On the flip side, only 45% want their cars to have active driving assistance.

That seems to fit with where the AAA lands on self-driving cars:

“Advanced vehicle safety technology should enhance driver safety rather than give the impression that the car is driving itself,” the AAA says.
