Summary
Most LA County residents still aren’t convinced about driverless cars, with only 9% saying they’re safe—making them the least trusted option compared to other transportation methods. Younger, college-educated folks are more open to trying them, but gender plays a role too: women feel safer from harassment in autonomous vehicles, while men see little difference in safety between self-driving and human-driven rides. With Waymo’s limited presence, this survey captures early skepticism, hinting that public trust will need more real-world experience to grow.
