Over the last year, perceptions among consumers across Asia Pacific has improved significantly regarding the safety of fully autonomous vehicles (AVs), but a majority are also skeptical about original equipment manufacturers’ (OEMs) ability to deliver AV technology to market. According to Deloitte’s “Global Automotive Consumer Study,” consumers across Asia Pacific have greater trust in driverless cars versus consumers in many other major markets worldwide. Trust among consumers has improved the most over the last year in China compared to other Asia Pacific markets in the study. In the latest study, 74 percent of consumers in China feel fully autonomous vehicles will be safe, compared to only 38 percent in 2017. This improvement is on par with Mexico and Italy, which along with China, lead all markets in the study with a 36 percent improvement in consumer trust in autonomous vehicles over the last year. In contrast, trust improved least in
