According to Lex Autolease, these results demonstrated that drivers recognise the benefits of technology that can help make driving safer.

Additionally, nearly seven in ten (68%) were in support of automatic steering systems that prevent cars wandering out of their lane.

On the other hand, only 25% of drivers surveyed said they were ready to support the introduction of driverless cars that require no human input apart from setting the destination.
