"IIHS Study Reveals Widespread Failures in Automaker ADAS Safeguards"

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has found that most partially automated Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) from various automakers, including Tesla, Ford, and Nissan, received "marginal" or "poor" ratings in a recent study. The study evaluated 14 systems and highlighted deficiencies in categories such as driver monitoring and attention reminders. The IIHS emphasized the need for better safeguards to prevent misuse and maintain driver focus, while also noting that there is little evidence to support the claim that these systems make driving safer. The top-rated systems included Lexus Teammate with Advanced Drive, GM Super Cruise, and Nissan ProPilot Assist with Navi-Link.

"GM's Super Cruise System Expands to Cover 750K Miles of Rural Highways"

GM is expanding its Super Cruise hands-free driving system to include about 750,000 miles of rural and minor highways in the US and Canada by 2025, nearly doubling its network. The system uses a combination of technology to enable hands-free driving, with the ability to maintain lane position, change lanes, and even tow a trailer. Unlike Tesla's Autopilot, Super Cruise does not require hands on the wheel but does require the driver's eyes to be directed straight ahead. This move is part of GM's effort to compete with Tesla and attract customers with advanced driver-assistance systems.
