CNN —The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which rates cars and SUVs for safety, examined so-called advanced driver assistance systems such as Tesla Autopilot and found them wanting.
Of the 14 systems tested by the agency, 11 earned a “poor” rating including Tesla’s Autopilot and so-called Full Self Driving systems.
Insurance Institute test drivers also looked at what would happen if the driver became incapacitated with the automated driving system in use.
Of the systems tested, only GM’s Super Cruise handled that sort of situation the proper way, according to the Institute.
The Insurance Institute will continue to monitor software updates and improvements and will periodically retest the systems, Harkey said.
