Americans feel insecure about sharing the road with self-driving cars

Many car owners believe that the solution to this problem is to make self-driving cars easier to identify or to have separate lanes for these vehicles.

Research conducted in conjunction with the Technology and Public Purpose Project at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, found that 53% of drivers surveyed felt less safe while riding. share the road with self-driving pickup trucks, and 47% feel less safe sharing the road with other self-driving vehicles. The AAA notes that 38 states and the District of Columbia have pilot projects testing self-driving cars. In California and Nevada particularly, this project is actively lobbied for. In fact, only 35% of survey respondents know that some states allow testing of self-driving cars on public roads. Additionally, 34% of those surveyed said they support self-driving pilot programs while 36% are against. Self-driving car test project is applied in many places in the US Of those opposed to the program, 77% said they were concerned about the safety of sharing the road with self-driving cars while 62% worried about who would be responsible for collisions with self-driving cars. . More than half also believe that the public needs to know the safest way to be on the road with self-driving test vehicles. The study also revealed that this problem could be overcome if self-driving test vehicles were easier to identify. In fact, 62% said they would feel safer if such vehicles were clearly marked. Meanwhile, 60% said they want a dedicated lane for self-driving cars. The AAA also recognizes that regulators should establish signs to make such vehicles easier to identify. Solutions have been put in place for self-driving cars to “integrate” into public transport
