Assisted driving systems fail to avoid head-on collisions, study warns

Despite rapid improvements in advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), the technology is still falling short in collisions, as the latest tests from the American Automobile Association (AAA) reveal. ADAS systems are widely available — and are often called semi-autonomous, as they combine automatic vehicle acceleration with braking and steering. The AAA tested three different ADAS-equipped vehicles: a 2020 Tesla Model 3 with Autopilot, a 2021 Subaru Forester with EyeSight, and a Hyundai Santa Fe with Highway Driving Assist. The agency’s engineering team conducted 15 test runs, using a foam hatchback car and a bicycle dummy. The test vehicles performed well…This story continues at The Next Web https://thenextweb.com/news/assisted-driving-systems-fail-avoid-head-on-collisions-study-warns
