Are driverless cars pointless? Autonomous vehicles WON'T give us any more free time, says study

People hoping that the driverless cars of the future will give them more free time while travelling may be in for a disappointment. Increased productivity is one of the expected benefits of self-driving cars, but a new study claims that they will have little impact. The study showed that nearly nearly 36 percent of Americans say they would be so apprehensive using a driverless vehicle that they would only watch the road. Meanwhile UK drivers were even more cautious at 44 per cent. The average vehicle trip is only around 19 minutes long which doesn't give enough time for any sustained productive activity, say the researchers.
