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.

Your post leads to a serious question:
What percentage of men actually take notice of their wive's criticism of his driving? From personal experience, I allowed a girl's criticism of my driving to influence my driving to a very small degree, when I was young, and dating. After marriage, that influence decreased, with time. Today, after almost 35 years, I seldom even hear her comments. If and when I do, I just turn the radio up. Or, I tell her to "climb in, sit down, hang on, and shut up".
