IIHS thinks most assistance tech is junk, and even the best-rated Lexus system is only “adequate”
Whose cars are equipped with the best driver assistance technology? If you guessed Tesla, or even Mercedes, you’d be wrong, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety . The real winner is Lexus, though “winner” might be overselling it. According to the IIHS, every automaker has plenty of work to do when it comes to autonomous tech.
Mercedes’ Level 3 Drive Pilot wasn’t evaluated , but the Distronic system on the C-Class - which doesn't have a face-detect camera - was graded poor, as was the BlueCruise on Ford’s Mustang Mach-E electric crossover, though that did win praise for its prompt alerts issued when the driver covered his face.
