You cannot trust your car aids yet, as the AAA report finds

Active Leadership Aid Systems look a comfortable way to move from point A to point B. But you cannot trust it completely yet, according to The latest study of the American Automobile Association It was released on Thursday.

AAA car engineers put five cars with active driving aid systems for testing. Systems, also known as the help of traffic congestion, have been used to move in thick traffic. The study found a dangerous data point: “prominent events” (such as the people who have been cut off in your neighborhood) where the ADA system failed to deal adequately with driving conditions that happened every 3.2 miles, or every 9 minutes on average.

Here is what to know about the study, and what AAA recommends before using the ADA system for your car again.

AAA tests warn us not to completely trust the ADA systems

Practical systems require you to keep your hands on the wheel while using the system. Meanwhile, manual disposal systems allow you to remove your hands from the steering wheel in most situations.

AAA engineers found “two prominent events” that were common to deal with ADA systems: when people cut in front of the car, which required the researcher to intervene 90 % of the time; And poor the corridors focus, as the system sensors and cameras have failed to stay centered instead of drifting to other corridors.

“The most common ADAS technology today is up to the most intelligent versions of seating control and hot aid,” says CNET, CNET expert, says. EVS Independent vehicles are the utensils of Godwin.

AAA found that the ADA drivers of the operation systems to intervene three times more than those who are launched from the hands systems. The manual operating system drivers had to re -launch every 5.5 miles or every 15.3 minutes.

“Most of the ADAS systems that you have experienced over the past decade, and even the most recent, require the driver to remain a participant and a revival, not a substitute for making human decisions,” says Godwin. “Even the fast road assistance systems such as GM’s Super Cruise, Ford Blue Cruise, Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot and Tesla’s FSD will not work (or should not) without the driver’s participation.”

Should you use the driving system in your car?

The bottom line is that the ADA systems are not completely ready to replace leadership and human practical attention yet.

“Although the ADA systems can help in some driving situations, they are not a substitute for interest behind the wheel,” Greg Branon, Director of Car Engineering Research, said in the AAA statement. “What we found is that drivers really need to stay on alert and reduce deviations, especially when things are busy on the road.”

Even if your Ada system seems flawless, AAA recommends preparing to intervene and stay on the road. It is also best to read your Ada system for understanding when and how to use it.

Goodwin refers to Tesla, who continues to find itself in hot water on how to market “Autopilot” and “full self -driving”, because it is not completely independent driving systems. This “creates a separation between the actual capabilities of the car/technology and customer expectations,” says Godwin.

Tesla was found earlier this month Partially responsible for a deadly crash The driver used his autopilot program when he collided with another car, and ordered to pay $ 243 million as compensation.

In California, Tesla is currently in the courts for another A case involving the automated pilotThe DMV state suggests the claims of wrong advertisements and misleading customers. California DMV claims that Tesla distort the capabilities of advanced drivers assistance systems by naming “full self -driving” and “Automated Pilot”, and seeks a 30 -day suspension to a Tesla license to sell vehicles in the state.
