Almost 50 percent of Americans want to live in a city where all vehicles are driverless, and 33 percent think that might happen in the next 10 years, according to an Intel survey of 12,000 people in eight countries. The survey also found that 40 percent of respondents think driverless vehicles would reduce the number of traffic accidents, while 38 percent said it would decrease traffic congestion, and 34 percent said it would reduce carbon emissions. Intel's Steve Brown says he is surprised by the survey's results. "They're probably overly optimistic, but it's nice to see that they're excited about the idea and think it will happen soon," Brown says. "I think it tells us that people are excited about a future that has some intelligence in it to make the world more convenient, more efficient, and safer."
