Although Americans can't yet buy a fully autonomous vehicle, some motorists are treating technologies that take on some of the chores of driving like their personal chauffeur, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Although Americans can't yet buy a fully autonomous vehicle, some motorists are treating technologies that take on some of the chores of driving like their personal chauffeur, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The results underscore the need for multifaceted safeguards, according to Alexandra Mueller, an IIHS research scientist and lead author of the study. At the same time, lane centering systems offer steering support to help keep the vehicle in the middle of the road. Some systems are able to change lanes and other advanced maneuvers.
For instance, TV commercials for Cadillac's Super Cruise system touts its hands-free capabilities by showing drivers patting their laps and clapping their hands along with a song, IIHS noted. The name Autopilot also implies Tesla's system is more capable than it actually is, while ProPILOT Assist signals it's an assistance feature, not a replacement for the driver, the group added.
