IIHS: Most self-driving systems fall short on safety, with Tesla scoring poorly
-
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) tested 14 automated driving systems and rated 11 as "poor," including Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving.
-
The top 3 systems were rated "acceptable" (Lexus Teammate), "marginal" (GM's Super Cruise), and "marginal" (Nissan ProPilot Assist).
-
Tesla claims Autopilot makes driving 10X safer but IIHS says there's little evidence partial automation improves safety.
-
Federal regulators are investigating nearly 1,000 Autopilot-related accidents.
-
Automakers like Nissan, Ford and BMW said they will consider IIHS feedback as they continue developing driver assistance systems.
