It most certainly doesn't mean nothing. It means that that there are significant trust issues that must be overcome before autonomous driving technology can get widespread acceptance. This is not a pure engineering problem that must be solved. Technologists can endlessly repeat "autonomous driving is inevitable" but that alone won't make it so.
- slavik81 10y agoHow can you trust a thing that doesn't exist? It's certainly understandable why people might hedge their bets. It's a lot to ask to get commitment to something sight-unseen. I have faith that the trust will arrive soon after the technology does. In the article, they state that Google thinks it will be 30 years before cars will be fully capable without steering wheels. If I were a survey respondent, I wouldn't want to wait that long to get my next car either.
