For years, auto and tech companies have been been promising that technology will change how we get around.
The future, they say, is self-driving. So far, consumers haven’t been so sure.
In a J.D. Power survey from late last year, consumers reported a “low level of confidence” in AVs.
But the COVID-19 pandemic – and forced social distancing – might eventually change how we look at AVs.
“In North America, people are quite skeptical of autonomous vehicles; that makes it hard to get them on the road for testing,” says Chris Robinson, a senior analyst with Lux Research. “So if there are a large number of cases showing that AVs are keeping people safe, that could help sway public opinion.”
