Episode notes

Tesla falls to the middle of the pack, I think is the one that was shared most widely for these results. That largely is because they haven't done a whole lot of changes or improvements to their autopilot. We are talking about lane centering and adaptive cruise control. For those two features, they're pretty similar to where they were while the rest of the market has kind of stepped up their game.

Consumer Reports vehicle technology maven and friend of the show Kelly Funkhouser returns to discuss CR's new rankings for active driver assistance systems, the class of systems pioneered by Tesla Autopilot. Kelly explains why the ranking emphasizes collaborative and driver monitoring features over automation, how critical these elements are to the safety of such systems, where her work ranking them will go from here, and much more.
