Tesla still ranks highest on capabilities and performance, but only by one point. It falls behind on monitoring the driver for awareness. |
Agreed with TorqueDog. In 2020, driver assistance is a big deal. Tesla certainly has problems, and consumer reports highlights what are important features on cars right now for safety. They're just evaluating them on something important in 2020 whereas a lot of the hype around Tesla is for what is still years away. In the long run, driver assistance isn't at all the point of autonomous vehicles. The big thing is reaching full autonomy so that cars stop being cars and become mobile spaces that can be anything inside without a human driver. When full autonomy works, driver assistance becomes irrelevant. Good to have more competition in the space anyways.
