Self-driving cars are still considered too risky to use by 71% of Americans, according to a study by the American Automobile Association (AAA). However, even before the crash, 63 percent of Americans were still afraid to ride in a fully autonomous car, according to AAA's figures. Before the fatal crash of a driverless Uber test car in 2018, the figure was 63%. However, the survey demonstrated that respondents are more willing to accept the technology in a limited capacity, with 53% comfortable with self-driving vehicles at low speeds over short distances. The poll also showed that Americans have high expectations for autonomous vehicles.
