A new study carried out by CCTV specialist SmartWitness found that when asked, 62% of the 1,000 people surveyed said that were against driverless cars.
Britain is now in pole position in the development of autonomous driving, with companies such as Google and Volvo choosing Blighty as the place to test driverless technology. But not only are 62% against this, 72% also feel it will make insurance claims more complicated.
The SmartWitness poll also found 91% of people ask feel there should be a camera fitted to the car as a compulsory measure to ensure a 'level playing field'. This way if there is a crash the cameras would be able to provide court admissible proof of who was exactly to blame.

SmartWitness chief executive Paul Singh said: "It is incredibly exciting that Britain is taking the lead globally in the development of autonomous cars.
"But these new findings from the SmartWitness survey show that there are still real fears from ordinary motorists about what will happen if they are in a collision with an autonomous car.
"Around 40% of all motor insurance claims are disputed, but how do you resolve a dispute when you can only hear evidence from one of the drivers involved?
He then added: "The simplest way to eliminate the problem is to make camera technology compulsory in all autonomous vehicles. This will provide court admissible proof in the event of an accident and help to alleviate motorists' fears about the introduction of driverless cars.
"It is fantastic that the Government is embracing this new technology and powering forward, but proper safeguards need to be put in place to protect all motorists."
