The latest study by Deloitte certifies increasing confidence in autonomous vehicle technology.
Recently one has US study an increasing confidence is noted and now follows the Deloitte Study with a similar result. More than 20,000 people were interviewed in 17 countries.
While acceptance continues to rise and concerns about safety Decline in autonomous vehicles, above all the cost of research and the lack of legal certainty prevent the development of autonomous driving. But people are ready to spend more on autonomous driving.
In the study of 2016 53 percent were convinced of the technology if it worked. Under the same conditions, this is now 59 percent. In the study of last year, 67 percent of respondents had security concerns, this value has dropped to 41 percent.
The reason for this development see the researchers of the Deloitte study in the public relation the manufacturer and media. Other study assume that the Experience the mood changes. This development should be an incentive to continue, according to a Deloitte director. Especially since 64 percent of respondents to the study said they would pay more for autonomous cars.
The height differed depending on the country: In the USA and in Japan If people were prepared to pay up to 40 percent on top, in Germany this willingness is about 50 percent.
The obstacles were also taken up immediately: In addition to the high investment totals, it is mainly the missing, legal basis, Although the introduction is being discussed in many places, development will only be able to take off after that. Not only the companies, but also the consumers are waiting for them – according to the study. That would make the additional costs plausible.
45 percent of the manufacturers are currently focusing on autonomous driving and most people want to be on their own brand stay. This is especially true for Germany, Japan and the USA. In Asia, this only applies to one third of respondents – in some cases only 13 percent. Therefore, the manufacturers should invest in the bond with the brand.
