GovTech.com discussed the findings of a survey by Pemco Insurance of drivers in Oregon and Washington states. 58% of those surveyed believed that the will see autonomous vehicles on roads in the state with thin the next 10 years. However, more than 40% said they were not interested in buying a robot car, even when price considerations are removed. Self-driving naysayers represented the bulk of responses, while 23% saying they might consider an autonomous vehicle, and 34% responding that they were very interested in purchasing one. Perhaps not surprisingly the survey found that younger people were more excited about self-driving cars than their older counterparts.
