    These don’t test self driving features, which are the source of the problem. FSR and Autopilot are unsafe according to NHTSA data.

      Do you own a Tesla? Basic autopilot is merely lane keeping combined with automatic cruise control. The car begs you to pay attention when you turn it on. Would you turn on cruise control and then take a nap? It’s the same thing. Users of autopilot need to pay attention at all times.

      TACC, AEB, FCW, LA and a bunch of other aspects of Autopilot are all tested, and have done extremely well.

      IIHS have probably the most stringent testing in the world, and they ranked the Model 3 the safest car ever tested. The Model Y was the second safest car ever tested.
