The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that the technology needs work across the industry.
A new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that the majority of partially automated safety systems don’t do what they’re supposed to do,Rolls-Royce’s New Ultra-Limited Ghost Prism Has 1,040 Interior LightsIf you’ve been in the market for a car over the last few years, you’ve probably noticed the growing popularity of advanced driver assistance systems .
None of the systems IIHS tested achieved a “good” rating. The best-performing system was Lexus Teammate with Advance Drive which can be found on the LS and scored an “acceptable” rating. Next up were General Motors’ Super Cruise and Nissan’s ProPilot with Navi-Link systems which both graded out as “marginal.” Everything by BMW, Ford, Genesis, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, and Volvo were all deemed “poor.
We’re still in the early days of ADAS, but it’s clear that all these systems need some serious work. We don’t imagine any of these automakers will be particularly excited to tout their IIHS current ratings, even Lexus. Still, there are drivers out there who like to feel safe behind the wheel, so we imagine at least one company will make changes to its software to get a better rating next time around.Bryan Hood is a digital staff writer at Robb Report.
