Public awareness of autonomous driving continues to expand, as it is often mentioned in mass media coverage as a solution to many of our car-related traffic problems such as congestion, environmental pollution and (fatal) accidents. However, it is often not yet entirely clear what concrete possibilities and potential, but also what risks are associated with it and what challenges still need to be overcome. In order to achieve acceptance, i.e. an active willingness on the part of the population to drive autonomously, fears about risks are key, in addition to reliable tests of technological achievements.
