14 PARTIAL DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS TESTED: Only one earns accept. rating.

🔲 14 PARTIAL DRIVER ASSISTANCE/AUTOMATION SYSTEMS TESTED: Only one earns an acceptable rating. Two are rated marginal, and 11 are rated poor.
🔲 The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (#IIHS) is managing a new ratings program to encourage automakers to incorporate more robust safeguards into their partial driving automation systems.
🔲 “We evaluated partial automation systems from BMW, Ford, General Motors, Genesis, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Tesla and Volvo,” IIHS President David Harkey said. “Most of them don’t include adequate measures to prevent misuse and keep drivers from losing focus on what’s happening on the road.”
◻ The Teammate system available on the #Lexus LS is the only system tested that earns an acceptable rating.
◻ The #GMC Sierra and #Nissan Ariya are both available with partial automation systems that earn marginal ratings.
◻ The LS and Ariya each offer an alternative system that earns a poor rating. The #Ford Mustang Mach-E, #Genesis G90, #MercedesBenz C-Class sedan, #Tesla Model 3 and #Volvo S90 also earn poor ratings, in some cases for more than one version of partial automation.
🔲 #Cars with partial assistance/automation are not self-driving - though automakers may use names that imply their systems are. The human driver must still manage routine driving tasks, control how well the automation is performing and remain attention to take over the control if anything goes wrong. While partial automation systems have some safeguards in place to help ensure drivers are focused and ready, the IIHI tests show that they’re not robust enough.
