45% find the idea of self driving cars, unappealing, 34% say they would feel unsafe, while 30% do not want to lose the joy/purity of driving.
Whatcar.com editorial director, Jim Holder, said: "It’s clear that autonomous cars have a way to go before the concept is truly adopted by the motoring public.
Half the drivers we talked to would feel happiest allowing their car to take over in a traffic jam, when the risk is minimal, while hardly any of them would feel safe letting their car guide them along urban and country roads.
So it’s perhaps a surprise that so many would feel alright about being piloted down some of the fastest roads – and then even more of a shock that so many would feel able to take a nap."
The survey also discovered what people would do in a driverless car.
