"Tesla's Automated Driving Safety Rating Lags Behind Competitors, According to IIHS Test"
A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that only one out of 14 partially automated driving systems, Lexus' Teammate, received an "acceptable" rating, while the rest were rated "marginal" or "poor" for not adequately ensuring driver attention and issuing timely warnings. The study aims to push automakers to follow standards for driver monitoring and calls for more regulatory action from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Systems from Tesla, Nissan, BMW, Ford, and others were rated poorly, prompting automakers to consider changes to comply with safety standards.
