Do you mean like electric cars?
Do you realize that electric car ownership went up, in 2011, from .014% to .062%

The reality is vast majority of the population reject self driving cars.
And it has less to do with technology than it has to do with the recent history of our government.
Which is neither effective, efficient and or non-intrusive.
Although, I have yet to use ANY “technological device”, which I use them quite frequently, that does not have gliches.
In fact, if my tablet or phone were a self driving car I would be afraid to driven by it.
Good luck in the future..I HOPE you get ever thing you want.
Just keep it away from me.

You keep projecting your reasons for rejection on the rest of the population. You keep misrepresenting the situation to reinforce your narrow view.

People did not all go out and buy automobiles when they came out. Many reasons.

People did not all go out and buy computers when they came to the home market.

People did not all (and still do not) buy smart phones/tablets.

But, as time passes, those dynamics change. Compare the internet of today to the internet of the mid to late 1990s.

Your point about electric cars is a non sequitur.

1. Elctric car ownership in the USA - The market share is miniscule as a whole at 1.07% But far more on the coasts at 5% in California -- electric cars make a lot of sense in the dense north-east, in cities in Texas and in europe and Asia. They don't make sense in the wide open spaces. Both ICEs and EVs have roles to play. I don't believe ICEs will go out completely but we will have more and my hybrids

2. The vast majority do not reject AVs - they are wary and want safeguards but they do not reject them. you can say the vast majority don't see a need for them. But tha'ts true for mobile phones, iPads etc.
