"IIHS Finds Only One Automated Driving System Passes Safety Test"

TL;DR Summary
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested 14 partial automated systems and found that only one, Lexus’ Teammate with Advanced Drive, passed their evaluation. The majority were rated poor, with two being marginal. The systems were found to be easily tricked and bad at monitoring driver attention, with some even working when the driver wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. IIHS noted that all vehicles did well in at least one category, suggesting that fixes may be readily available through software updates.
