- Five cars with automatic braking systems were stress tested by research group the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
- The Tesla Model 3 and Model S performed the worst, behind a BMZ, a Volvo, and a Mercedes.
- They were required to drive toward a stationary item with their adaptive cruise controls turned off, and only automatic braking on.
- The two Teslas were the only cars which failed to stop in time, and hit the object.
- In other parts of the test, the Teslas performed better, and were even over-cautious when braking.
New tests of automatic braking systems in cars found some worrying problems with the technology, and two Tesla models were the worst performers.
Test carried out by research group the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that some braking systems may not notice stopped vehicles, and could even steer cars into a crash rather than away from it.
