The one that passed: Lexus Teammate with Advanced Drive (2022-24 Lexus LS)
Saved you a click.
And here are the requirements:
Notice how they do not say anything about the automated driving system itself.
Linking to the actual test so you don’t have to visit the verge.
What is interesting to me that many failed on the driver monitoring side which to me as a consumer (not a traffic authority) is probably actually a pro not a con. I don’t want my car insessantly beeping at me for dumb reasons. I wouldn’t intend to use these systems without attention but stricter controls will also mean more false positives.
By this logic Lexus, Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes, and even Ford seem great (somewhat depending on the model of the car).
Whats also funny is that the Tesla utterly failed almost all categories except the lane change (and passed emergency). But it can’t even do that unless you’re willing to pay them extra thousands of dollars for the software unlock.
Am I blind? What on earth does A M P and G mean
Edit:
A system may be assigned a rating of good, acceptable, marginal or poor
The chart could really use a legend included with it
Just guessing but maybe (G)ood, (A)cceptable, (M)arginal, (P)oor? Or perhaps (G)od-tier, (A)ss, (M)eh, and (P)wned?
tl;dr: Lexus passed, Tesla failed every test
Tesla had 2 (A) Acceptable scores, but it was the worst of all systems tested.
Kind of surprising, since Tesla supposedly started before any of the others.
All the head start in the world can’t save you when you have Elon Musk as CEO. He decided years ago that sensors like LIDAR and such are expensive and unnecessary, “because people can drive with just their eyes”. So now Teslas rely exclusively on cameras, and have a much harder time figuring out the shape of stuff around them. Can’t add sensors with a software update, so they’ll be behind for a good while more.
found to be easily tricked and bad at monitoring driver attention
They didn’t even test if the cars could avoid an accident.
I know my car’s adaptive cruise can’t see a white trailer. It figures it’s open sky and accelerates.
I live in the Appalachians and so my commute is twisty mountain roads.
The last car I loaned was a maxima which immediately forgot there was a car in front of me whenever I or the car in front “disappeared” on a turn.
It would also flash tf out of people on turns and hills with its dumb auto highs.
