AAA reports the number of people who are too afraid to ride in an autonomous vehicle has risen in recent months to nearly 3 in 4 Americans at 73%. Following high-profile incidents involving autonomous vehicle technologies, this trend of distrust is up significantly from 63 percent in late 2017. Additionally, two-thirds (63 percent) of U.S. adults report they would actually feel less safe sharing the road with a self-driving vehicle while walking or riding a bicycle.
Another surprising finding from this AAA. It's the younger people who were rattled by these accidents:
"Surprisingly, AAA’s latest survey found that Millennials – the group that has been the quickest to embrace automated vehicle technologies — were the most impacted by these incidents. The percentage of Millennial drivers too afraid to ride in a fully self-driving vehicle has jumped from 49 percent to 64 percent since late 2017, representing the largest increase of any generation surveyed."

Hopefully the percentage who would take it are the ones who do not tip
