Self-driving cars are already here, but a recent study by Kelley Blue Book revealed that many Americans know little about what an autonomous vehicle is -- as many as 60 percent of those polled for the study. The survey included 2,200 respondents aged 12 through 64. Despite the fact that big-name tech companies like Google and Uber are already putting autonomous vehicles on the streets, the survey found that a large percentage of people were unclear about autonomous vehicles and had mixed emotions about their safety and whether they will become mainstream in the future.

As many as 60% of Americans questioned in a recent survey undertaken by Kelley Blue Book said they knew little about autonomous vehicles. The survey canvassed 2,200 respondents aged between 12 and 64 and found that even though companies such as Google and Uber already have autonomous vehicles on the road, a large number of respondents were unclear about autonomous vehicles and their safety, and did not have a view about whether they would become mainstream. In addition, there is still no consensus among experts regarding how to regulate self-driving cars.
