25% of people would sleep behind the wheel of a self driving car

More than a quarter of people would be happy to go to sleep in a car that was driving itself, says a new survey.

The What Car.com questionnaire found that while new autonomous technology was not trusted overall, some 26% of respondents said they would be quite happy to nod off while the computer took control.

And yet 32% of people said motorways would be the best ones on which to use self-driving cars.
