Survey Finds Jeep Owners Are Not Very Interested in Driverless Cars

The rest of the world might be going crazy over the idea of a future with driverless cars, but there’s clearly one group of vehicle owners who are less likely to relinquish the wheel to a computer.

Yup, while more than half of all car owners surveyed by MaritzCX said they are “interested” in driverless cars, Jeep owners were much less enticed by the idea, according to a Bloomberg report. In fact, less than 10 percent of Jeep owners said they’d purchase a driverless car, which is substantially lower than other car owners.

Those with the least interest in buying an autonomous vehicle own Rams and then Jeeps. On the other hand, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz owners top the chart for brands owners willing to step into the new age of mobility, with roughly 27 percent of them saying they are ready to take the plunge.

But I think the bigger story here might be that if you own a Jeep, you really, really enjoy driving it. Right?
