Besides, does anyone really want to go for a night out on the town via subway?; high heels, crowded subway cars and high temperatures just don’t mix well for a glam night out (hello, hair frizz).

Earlier this week, Reportlinker ran an intriguing report about self-driving vehicles on its website.

Some of the statistics unveiled:

More than 60% of surveyed Americans say they are “somewhat or very positive” about autonomous cars.

Safety is a significant concern. A majority — 63% — of consumers polled say that they would not feel safe in a fully-automated vehicle.

Use of automated features on traditional cars could help to overcome the fear. But ride-sharing services (e.g. Uber, Lyft) offer also another way to experience autonomous vehicles, or AVs.

54% of potential users of self-driving taxis say they would purchase an AV, compared to 41% of non-users.

Younger millennials may pave the way for future growth of AVs as they express more interest in using driverless taxis or buses than older generations.
