I just recently wrote about how Kia topped the charts in the J.D. Power Initial Quality Survey for the second year in a row. Well, it appears as though the survey got hold of some other very interesting information. It appears as though consumers have actually grown to dislike semi-autonomous vehicles even more in the past year.

In these reports, drivers said that they were uncomfortable with things like lane support and adaptive cruise control. People have started to think that if it's so difficult to perfect these "simple" features, how could a manufacturer build a car that can drive, think, and adjust all by itself. While the results do show that the hatred of autonomous features are growing, there are other things to take into consideration before you look at the facts.

If there were 10 people that drove cars with semi-autonomous features last year and 1 person complained about it, then they would have 10 percent of their consumers that don't like it. Let's say this year 50 people bought those cars and 7 people didn't like it. Now the percentage has gone up. While those numbers are clearly made up, the point I'm trying to get across is that more people have purchased semi-autonomous cars this year than last year. More cars on the market means that more people have the chance to complain, so the percentage is hard to track until many, many people have purchased a semi-autonomous vehicle.
