AAA says 75% of drivers are scared of self-driving cars

Still, 60% drivers would like to get some kind of self-driving feature, such as automatic braking or self-parking, the next time they buy a new car.

The attitudes are in a new AAA survey of 1,800 drivers.

Advocates of self-driving cars argue they would be safer than cars driven by humans because they can’t get distracted or drive when tired or impaired.

Google (GOOGL, Tech30) has tested its self-driving cars on the road for more than 1 million miles. It suffered its first accident partly caused by the car, a minor fender bender involving a bus, only last month. Other automakers are also testing self-driving cars. Tesla (TSLA) has started offering hands free driving on its cars.
