Study Finds People Expect Self-Driving Cars to Be Common in 50 Years

A new Intel study finds consumers look forward to a self-driving car future even while harboring fears and uncertainty now. The survey of U.S. consumers found that only 21 percent of Americans would swap their cars for self-driving cars today, even though 63 percent expect such vehicles to be the norm in 50 years. That future vision fits with an earlier study in which Intel predicted a passenger-centric future worth $7 trillion by 2050.
