Americans are eagerly anticipating self-driving cars – but not for the ease or the autonomy.
A new survey conducted by the Boston Group reveals that lower insurance costs is by far the second biggest reason US residents would buy a self-driving car, closely trailing safety concerns as the top endorsement.
And the numbers are large. Of the 1,500 drivers interviewed by researchers, 55% said they were likely to buy a semi-autonomous car while 44% said they would buy a fully autonomous vehicle in 10 years.
