IIHS gives "poor" ratings to Tesla's Autopilot and nine other assisted-driving systems in a recent study, with no proven real-world safety benefits.

The US Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has given "poor" ratings to Tesla's Autopilot and nine other assisted-driving systems from major automakers in a recent study. The IIHS found no concrete evidence that these systems have real-world safety benefits based on crash data and noted that automatic emergency braking systems have a more positive record, with data showing a 50% reduction in rear-end collisions and a 30% decrease in vehicle-pedestrian accidents. Only one system - Lexus Teammate with Advanced Drive - received an "acceptable" rating.
