People Think Their Cars Are Self-Driving Even Though They’re Not, Study Finds

A new survey of about 600 owners of cars with advanced driving assist features like Tesla Autopilot and GM Super Cruise found that even the people who own these cars are confused about what they are technologically capable of. The survey, conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), found 53 percent of Super Cruise drivers, 42 percent of Autopilot users, and 12 percent of Nissan ProPILOT Assist drivers “were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving” even though they are not.
