Tesla Autopilot and similar automated driving systems get ‘poor’ rating from prominent safety group
This is my surprised face.
I'm midway through a great book, Why We Drive, by Matthew Crawford. The book touches on topics of interest to aviators, drivers, and gear heads. We should all know about the Yerkes-Dodson Stress Performance curve. "Auto" driving systems don't fully replace us, but instead put us in an under-stimulated (and therefore under-performing) state.
The book also discusses how Tesla provided it's own highly skewed data to NHTSA touting it's 40% higher safety rating with autopilot on. NHTSA actually fought an FOIA request pretty hard, probably because they knew it was BS.
