Assisted driving systems installed in Tesla Inc., Hyundai Motor Co. and Subaru Corp vehicles failed to avoid a head-on collision in a test conducted by AAA, although Tesla’s Autopilot system allowed the vehicle to steer before colliding with the oncoming, foam model. slowed down the pace. ,
AAA, a US consumer and travel services organization, said the tests show how current assisted driving and automatic braking systems fall short of true autonomous driving, and require drivers to be in control of vehicles.
A rapidly growing number of new vehicles are equipped with Automated Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, which partially automate tasks such as steering, staying in the lane and applying the brakes. Tesla’s Autopilot is one of the best-known systems of this kind, but most major automakers offer similar technology. Regulators, auto insurers and automakers have warned that ADAS systems cannot safely substitute for the full attention of a human driver.
In their latest study of the limits of assisted driving technology, AAA researchers set up four scenarios for the three tested models: overtaking a dummy car traveling in the same direction as the vehicle tested; Overtaking a dummy cyclist going in the same direction; encountering a dummy car on its way to a head-on collision at 25 mph; And avoid dummy cyclist crossing the path of test car.
All three tested vehicles were detected and avoided by colliding dummy vehicles and cyclists traveling in the same direction, AAA said.
But the Hyundai Santa Fe and Subaru Forester did not appear to detect or slow down to avoid colliding with a foam dummy vehicle during a simulated head-on collision, AAA said.
The Model 3 hit its brakes automatically when it detected an oncoming dummy car, which slowed to 3.2 mph or slower before colliding with the dummy car.
Tesla did not respond with comments on the study. Hyundai is reviewing the findings in the AAA report as part of our ongoing commitment to customer safety.
Subaru is investigating AAA testing to understand the methodology and does not have a detailed response at this time, spokesman Dominic Infant said in an email. He said the automaker has improved its iSight assisted driving system for the 2022 model year Forester.
The AAA stated that a Subaru Forester tested failed to get a simulated cyclist to cross his path in five test runs. A Tesla Model 3 and a Hyundai Santa Fe saw a dummy cyclist crossing their paths and braked.
