In its first-ever reference in the field of automated driving systems, Consumer Reports today revealed that GM's Super Cruise autopilot system – tested on a Cadillac CT6 – outperformed the Tesla autopilot, followed by ProPilot systems. Assist of Nissan / Infiniti and Volvo Assist.

Consumer Reports has said tested and classified these 4 particular systems, because they were among the most capable and most known on the market.

Other manufacturers, such as Honda and Toyota, offer similar functionality, but they do not commercialize their automation capabilities in the same way.

According to the magazine, the tests were designed to determine the performance of each system, not only to direct and control the speed of a car, but also to help drivers pay attention to the road when systems are activated.

In driving tests, in straight lines, cornering, lane mergers and lane changes, Consumer Reports evaluated the following for each car:

1. How well cars stayed centered in their lane
2. How many times have they touched the track lines
3. How many times have they crossed these lines
4. Their ability to control speed on the highway, in traffic jams, when approaching a car and when it has left the lane

GM uses eye tracking technology to ensure the driver's eyes are open and facing forward

The GM Super Cruise and Autopilot drivers were the big winners, accelerating and slowing down comfortably, and managed to keep the vehicle centered in the lane for several kilometers at a time.

The Nissan and Volvo systems had problems with winding or hilly roads and frequent departure on the tracks.

This 82-year-old non-profit organization also tested to see if each system had a way to ensure that the driver was always engaged in driving and not distracted.

It only took 4 seconds for the Cadillac to warn the driver, it's thanks to Super Cruise's eye tracking technology that the driver's eyes are open and facing forward. Although it took 24 seconds for the Tesla autopilot.

To put this in context, at 60 km / h, a car runs almost the length of a football field in 4 seconds and close to six football fields in 24 seconds.

While Consumer Reports has attempted to be as comprehensive as possible on its first ever ranking of automated driving systems, we believe the report is not a fair comparison between GM's Super Cruise, which is available on more than 130 000 miles of limited access highways. , "in the United States and Canada, mapped by General Motors – and the Tesla autopilot, which operates essentially all over the world.
