The stats were driven by the "Vehicle Hacking Vulnerability Survey". " How do you feel about autonomous or self-driving vehicles?" was asked alongside questions like "How big of a problem do you feel vehicle hacking will be in the future?"

If the questions were "How safe a driver is your 75yo mother?" or "Do you think autonomous cars will increase or decrease deaths caused by drunk driving?" the survey might have shown different results.

TMT is a great way to manipulate survey results.

The question was flawed by itself. Most people rightly expect never to buy an autonomous car. They will just call up a car when they need to go somewhere that is appropriately configured for each trip and leave the problems of maintenance, fueling, parking, and financing to somebody else.
