What do you think of the driverless cars launched in Milton Keynes?

The surveys have been designed by experts from Cambridge University, and are intended to track any changes in public attitude towards autonomous vehicles during the remaining two years of the UK Autodrive project.

As well as assessing people’s attitudes towards self-driving vehicles, the survey will also ask what they think of their current travel experiences, as well as examine their travel preferences.

Doctor Kai Ruggeri, director of the Cambridge University policy research group, said: “UK Autodrive is primarily about trialling connected and autonomous vehicles in Milton Keynes and Coventry, but it’s also about seeing what the public think of this new technology.

“There has been lots of talk about the potential benefits of self-driving vehicles, but also plenty of concerns expressed – so these surveys will help us measure public sentiment, and how it’s changing.”

Councillor Liz Gifford, said: “Autonomous vehicles are a fascinating new branch of transport technology which opens up many possibilities for the near future but also many questions”

“This is a chance for you to put your views and opinions to those who are working in this industry and to find out more about what these driverless vehicles will mean for you and future generations”.
