There’s a driverless car outside your door. Would you get in? If your answer is “it depends”, you’re not alone: only 13% of US drivers would trust riding in a self-driving vehicle.
Watch CARMA’s on-demand webinar, part of the Driving Change series. It explores findings from an analysis of 30,528 editorial and social media items, with a focus on the US, UK, and Europe.
What we covered:
- Why North America is the most contested region, with 60.9% positive and 26.4% negative coverage.
- Why “hype versus reality” drives 37% of negative story mentions.
- Why 68% fewer police-reportable crashes in Waymo data has not yet translated into public trust.
- Who is held responsible when something goes wrong, and why that shifts to industry in North America and Europe.
- Four principles for communicating about autonomous driving right now.
Hear from CARMA’s experts on how the industry has moved from promise to deployment, and why trust will decide who succeeds.
