A very small survey of people of different ages suggests that there are age and gender differences in the acceptance of riding in automated cars. In summary, 2,600 people in the US replied and of them 38% of the men and just 16% of women would be happy to ride in an automated vehicle. About a quarter of respondents said they would feel safe in a driverless car while around two thirds said they would not travel unless there was a driver. No mention was made about their opinions of sharing the road with these massive projectiles when driving themselves in traditional cars.

It's much less fun to complain about the driving to an automated car than to a human driver. ;-)

It depends on who's in the car with you. I have been to the movies in neighborhoods where people have no problem yelling at a screen that can't hear them; it's often much more entertaining than the movie itself.
