This chapter emphasizes the importance of community input and involvement in the development of autonomous vehicle technology, highlighting the difference between policy teams and community engagement. It also discusses the J.D. Power mobility confidence index and the role of personal exposure in increasing approval levels of AVs.
With Cruise under NHTSA investigation and a new survey showing lower than ever public confidence in AVs, the gang discusses AV skepticism, its causes, cures, and the (not coincidental?) resurgence of the UAW, among other topics.
