Lack of control over autonomous vehicles worries drivers

09 January 2025
Trust levels in driverless cars among younger drivers (18-26-year-olds) are two and a half times higher than they are among drivers aged 55-64 and over 65s (26% vs 13% vs 10%)

 

Just over half of motorists (57%) are concerned about the feeling of not being in control of self-driving cars, new research has revealed.

The study, commissioned by vehicle history check and valuation specialists HPI, polled the views of over 2,000 UK adults.

The poll found that women are slightly more concerned about not feeling in complete control than men (60% v 55%).
