#3I wonder if it's an age thing. I'm 20, I have quite little fear and I think most of my peers feel the same way. I'm planning to buy a Tesla the second they let me buy one with bitcoin and I 100% plan to daily drive autopilot on city streets when it's ready, I really can't picture any of my friends being like wtf turn that shit off.
Edit: Disregard, I thought it was self driving related not full robotaxi that shit is spooky. I'd do it but I'd let other ppl do it for a few months first.

#4I don't blame them. There are too many incentives for companies to ship self-driving features in vehicles before they're ready to be on the road.

#514% of driving are fine riding in automated vehicles? Higher than I thought!

Being behind the wheel of a car with "autopilot" is not quite the same as being stuck in the back seat of a self-driving car where you have no control over it at all.
I'd gladly drive a Tesla with autopilot, but wouldn't want to let it drive me while I lounge in the back seat.

#7Couple of things. Except for Waymo in Phoenix, there is no finished working automated vehicle. Most of the videos out there are of tests or of Tesla FSD Beta which originally was actually pretty dangerous.
So if people are going by those videos then maybe they should be scared.
Also, what percentage of AAA members are under 50?

Experience. Indirectly linked to age. When you have been driving for a number of years and have experienced how quickly and unexpectedly things can happen while driving, it's hard to completely put your life in the hands of an automated system.

>daily drive autopilot on city streets when it's ready
Please note that it is not real autopilot and be safe.
I can understand not being scared of automatic vehicles but Tesla isnt self driving yet.

I think state of PA tried to ban automobiles by saying they were too dangerous. They said in order to drive a car it should be manned by a driver, a mechanic, one guy to run in front of the car and one guy to walk behind the car and god forbid they see a horse rider they must disassemble that car and hide the parts in bushes until the horse has passed.
