Autonomous-vehicle technology might seem like 21st-century stuff, but “self-driving” cars as a concept have a history that goes back almost as far as the car itself, from the driverless “phantom auto” making headlines in the 1920s to General Motors’ “no-hold steering” of its Firebird prototypes in the 1950s.

Despite decades of experimentation—and as more and more self-driving Teslas and Ubers hit the roads—it’s such a departure from how we think about driving that most people are still afraid of riding in one.
