A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found that most partially automated driving systems lack effective measures to ensure drivers remain attentive.
Most electronic systems that take on some driving tasks for humans don't adequately make sure drivers are paying attention, and they don't issue strong enough warnings or take other actions to make drivers behave, according to an insurance industry study published Tuesday. Only one of 14 partially automated systems tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety performed well enough to get an overall 'acceptable' rating.
safety ratings are closely followed by automakers, which often make changes to comply with them. The 14 systems, which include several variations from single automakers, are among the most sophisticated now on the market, Harkey said. Only one of the systems, Teammate in the Lexus LS, earned the adequate rating. General Motors' Super Cruise in the GMC Sierra and Nissan's Pro-Pilot Assist with Navi-Link in the Ariya electric vehicle were rated marginal.
Mercedes said the company said it takes the findings seriously, and it relies on the system collaborating with the driver. BMW said it respects IIHS's efforts, but it differs philosophically about how systems should monitor drivers. One BMW system evaluated by IIHS is not intended for drivers to take their hands off the wheel and only considers input from steering wheel sensors. BMW tests have not found a clear advantage in turning on the driver monitoring camera, the company said.
