Tesla Yet Again Falls Short To Cadillac Super Cruise

After Tesla’s new beta of self driving did a poor job of engaging drivers in the new mode, they lost a significant amount of points and came in second place Consumer Reports’ most recent rankings of ‘driver-assistance’ vehicles. In 2018, just 7 cars were ranked in the list. This year, there were 17. Cadillac Super Cruise won both years. However, Tesla didn’t do so bad this year.

“When it comes to lane-keeping assist, Tesla did the best in our tests,” Consumer Reports said, and when the system loses too much road information like lane lines, it very loudly notifies the driver to take over. “Almost all of the other systems we evaluated don’t make any noise to indicate that the system is stopping its steering,” the magazine said. This section came from an article by businessinsider.com

However, Tesla tied for last place in driver engagement and clarity around when the system is safe to use. This brought there ranking down a ton, which is the main reason they did not take first place.
