Just like trying a new food for the first time, it takes a little while for people to warm up to the idea of driverless cars. A recent study found that while self-driving vehicles (SDVs) have the potential to make roads safer and more efficient, many people are not quite ready to fully trust them just yet. The study suggests that a gradual transition is needed in order to build comfort and acceptance among all road users. It’s like slowly introducing a shy cat to new house guests, giving everyone time to adjust and become familiar with each other. This means that before we can expect widespread adoption of self-driving cars, there needs to be a period of time where SDVs coexist with traditional vehicles on the road, allowing everyone to get used to the idea and see firsthand their benefits.
While self-driving vehicles (SDVs) are being hailed as a solution for safer, more efficient roads, new research suggests some are not quite ready to embrace self-driving cars wholeheartedly — and will need a period of gradual transition before adoption.
