Level-setting: why drivers still don’t understand self-driving

American car and truck owners have shaky knowledge of what constitutes a fully autonomous vehicle (AV), says the 2021 J.D. Power Mobility Confidence Index (MCI), released November 30.

In fact, more than half (55%) pointed to descriptions that are actually aligned with more modest driver-assist technology.
