American drivers are slowly warming up to the idea of relinquishing the wheel to a robot.
Although 63 percent of U.S. drivers say they’d be afraid to ride in a fully self-driving car, that’s down substantially from the 78 percent who were fearful a year ago, according to a survey released Wednesday by the American Automobile Association.
Younger drivers are the most open to the new technology, with less than half of millennials concerned about going driverless, the study shows. Almost three-quarters of women worry about riding in a self-driving car, while just 52 percent of men shared that concern.
