A growing body of research suggests our attachment to driving may be more emotional than practical. A new analysis argues that reluctance toward self-driving cars stems less from genuine love of being behind the wheel and more from fear—fear of losing control, fear of risk, fear of the unfamiliar.

The author’s point is simple: transportation may be on the cusp of a transformation we’ll embrace sooner than we expect. Jason N. Linder, PsyD with Psychology Today has the full story.
