Interested in electronic helpers, but little trust
An ÖAMTC survey of 860 members in April showed that the majority of those surveyed (55 percent) were “very interested” or “rather interested” in driver assistance systems and automated driving. The most important sources of information are the Internet (55 percent), car shows on television (47 percent), trade magazines (38 percent) and personal conversations (29 percent). 84 percent state that their vehicle has an assistance system. The most common include reversing cameras (70 percent), cruise control (63 percent) and intelligent lighting systems (46 percent). The majority of respondents (64 percent) say they know all of their vehicle’s signals. A third state that they only partially know the symbols/signs in their own car.
Directive in effect – These assistants are now mandatory in the car
