"Prominent Safety Group Gives Poor Ratings to 14 Partial Automated Driving Systems"
TL;DR
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested 14 partial automated driving systems and found that none earned a "good" rating, with only one rated as acceptable and two as marginal. Systems from BMW, Ford, General Motors, Genesis, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Tesla, and Volvo were evaluated, with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Beta) Version 2023.7.10 receiving the worst rating. IIHS conducted tests involving covering the driver's face and attaching weights to the steering wheel to simulate a driver's hands, revealing concerning results but also suggesting that fixes may be readily available through software updates.
