How self-driving cars become a part of the way we travel relies not on the technology, but rather, on the way society accepts self-driving cars. According to a new survey, the Chinese public is better poised to accept autonomous vehicles than Americans are, mainly because they trust the technology and feel more secure about passing on their data. The researchers behind the survey say that the Chinese public’s acceptance of autonomous vehicles may help lead China to adopt self-driving cars faster than the US.
