The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave poor safety ratings to several self-driving systems, including Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving functions. This raises concerns about the safety of automated features on highways. The assessment covered 14 partial driving automation features from BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Tesla, and Volvo. None of the systems received a good rating, with the Lexus LS Teammate system being rated as the best with an acceptable rating. The GMC Sierra and Nissan Ariya offered self-driving systems with marginal ratings. The IIHS emphasized the need for driver involvement and attention despite the systems being marketed as self-driving.
