IIHS President David Harkey says that partial-automation tech looks more like a convenience feature 'like power windows'
The IIHS says that partial automation features are akin to power windows. At the same time, crash avoidance systems appear to be very good at reducing crash rates. As automotive technology grows more quickly, it can be easy to confuse the purpose and abilities of different features. A new study from the IIHS highlights just how vital it is to know the difference, indicating that there is a wide gap between crash-avoidance and partial-automation systems when it comes to safety outcomes.
A breakdown of the numbers explains that thinking. In the study, Nissans with AEB saw an eight percent reduction in property damage liability claims. That figure didn't increase when the Nissan in question also had a partial automation system. BMWs with AEB and forward collision warning saw a seven percent collision claim rate reduction and a thirteen percent drop in property damage claims.
