Tesla's Autopilot is losing out to Ford, GM in self-driving tech
Tesla's Autopilot"self driving" technology has slipped to the middle of the active driver assist software pack, says the nonprofit Consumer Reports, as companies like Ford and General Motors have overtaken the Musketeers in the automotive code lane.after testing 12 different ADA systems, which it classified as technology that combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering assistance to take the stress out of driving on highways or in traffic jams.
"After all this time, Autopilot still doesn't allow collaborative steering and doesn't have an effective driver monitoring system. While other automakers have evolved their ACC and LCA systems, Tesla has simply fallen behind," said Jake Fisher, the nonprofit's senior director of auto testing.
BlueCruise, for example, uses direct driver monitoring systems equipped with infrared cameras to monitor driver's eyes and issues an audible alert within five seconds of the system detecting the pilot isn't watching the road. If attention isn't returned the vehicle begins to slow.
