"Prominent Safety Group Gives Poor Ratings to 14 Partial Automated Driving Systems"

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.

"Study Finds Tesla Autopilot and Other Automated Driving Systems Rated 'Poor' for Safety"

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) introduced a new safety rating system for partial automated driving systems, with Tesla's Autopilot and its rivals receiving poor ratings. Of the 14 systems tested, 11 were rated as poor, including Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving version. The only system rated worse than Tesla's was Volvo's Pilot Assist. The top-rated systems were Lexus' Teammate with Advanced Drive, General Motors' Super Cruise, and Nissan's ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, receiving acceptable and marginal ratings. The IIHS president emphasized the lack of evidence that partial automation makes driving safer, despite claims from Tesla and CEO Elon Musk. Manufacturers are expected to continue improving their systems' safety features in response to the findings.

Additionally, Porsche’s software chief Sajjad Khan will join the board of Cariad. The new CEO will restructure Cariad and expand the group’s partnership with Intel’s Mobileye for developing automated driving systems.
