The public is enthusiastic about the expanded use of autonomous vehicles (AVs), according to a recent Arizona State University study.
The report is the result of a six-month pilot program conducted by Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority of Greater Phoenix in partnership with autonomous-driving technology company Waymo between September 2019 and March 2020. Participants were older and disabled residents in the Phoenix metro area. After the program ended, most said AV services are safe and convenient and even preferable to traditional taxis or ride-share options.
