While car makers continue to roll out autonomous prototypes on show stands around the world, a recent study has shown that most drivers would prefer to keep doing the driving themselves.

Breaking down the figures in the report, tabled by the University of Michigan, reveals that 46 percent of respondents would prefer to drive a vehicle with no autonomous driving capabilities whatsoever, compared to a car that offered full, or partial self-driving abilities.

Partial self-driving capabilities were the preference of 39 percent of respondents, while only 16 percent of the sample group indicated that they’d prefer to let a fully autonomous vehicle do the commuting for them.
