A recent AAA study reveals that the majority of Americans prioritize automotive safety improvements over advancements in robotaxi technology. While trust in self-driving cars has grown slightly, skepticism remains high, with 61% of drivers still afraid of autonomous vehicles. The enthusiasm for robotaxis has waned significantly, leading to 78% of respondents advocating for a stronger focus on safety features like Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Keeping Assist. Tesla's push for robotaxis appears misaligned with consumer sentiment, highlighting a disconnect in the automotive industry's current focus.
An overwhelming number of Americans-78% to be precise-instead want automakers to prioritize advancing safety systems.
Despite a slight increase in trust for self-driving cars, the overall enthusiasm for robotaxis is dropping sharply from last year.
