Independent multi-country study commissioned by XPENG reveals a growing disconnect between Europe\u2019s intellectual acceptance of AI and its emotional readiness for autonomous mobility<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Only 13% of Europeans feel comfortable with fully self driving cars, even though many already rely on AI enabled driving features in everyday mobility.<\/p>\n

XPENG today released an independent, quantitative study on public attitudes to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Physical AI across six European countries, with a reference sample from major Chinese cities. The findings reveal a defining European paradox: high familiarity with AI and frequent use of AI-enabled driver assistance, coupled with deep reluctance to give control to fully autonomous systems. While 82% of Europeans say they understand AI, just 21% feel comfortable with Physical AI in general and only 13% would step into a fully self-driving car today, compared with 70% in China.<\/p>\n

Europeans increasingly live with artificial intelligence every day. They use it at work, rely on it in digital services and already interact with AI powered systems in modern vehicles. Yet the moment AI moves from screens into the physical world and begins making decisions in real life, public trust sharply breaks down. The findings reveal five tensions that will define how AI mobility earns public trust in Europe:<\/p>\n
