Australians distrustful of autonomous cars - study

More than 58 per cent of Australians don't trust autonomous cars, and more than 17 per cent think robots can't match human driving skills – according to a study from a local law firm. The report from Smith's Lawyers, titled Seven Problems Self-Driving Cars Face, found 58.6 per cent of people said "no, I like to have control of my car at all times", while just 7.1 per cent agreed with the statement "yes, [autonomous cars are] the future" when asked "would you trust an autonomous car?"
