As per a recent hands-on driving evaluation conducted by Consumer Reports, Tesla’s Autopilot driver-assistance strategy came from “a distant second” to GM’s Super Cruise.

A total of 17 vehicles outfitted with busy driving assistance systems (ADAS) have been tested, with Autopilot present to a Tesla Model Y and also Super Cruise to a Cadillac CT6. It’s possible to observe the rankings by different categories for all these systems directly here.

Super Cruise will be on over 20 GM vehicles over the next three decades, such as on the new Hummer EV truck.

This isn’t the first time Super Cruise got the best of Autopilot during a CR test. Back in 2018, the other Cadillac CT6 was able to score better than the usual Tesla Model 3 during a four car ADAS test.

During this latest evaluation, which took place that summer on both people roads in addition to a track, the Caddy scored 69 points out of a possible 100, while the Tesla managed 57. A Lincoln Corsair equipped with Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 system completed third with 52 points, Audi’s Pre Sense shot fourth-spot overall with 48, whereas Hyundai’s Smart Sense / Kia Drive Wise, Mercedes’ Driver Assistance along with Subaru’s Eyesight all tied for fifth with 46 points.

CR’s mind of automatic and connected vehicle testing, Kelly Funkhouser, said that the reason why Super Cruise came out on top was its driver-facing infrared camera, which tracks the individual behind the wheel, ensuring he or she’s ready to take over manual control in a moment’s detect.

Funkhouser added that “the top systems allow drivers to activate the speed and steering control independently so drivers can decide exactly how much assistance they would like to work with, and just have one lane keeping system that performs consistently. ”

The evaluation also concluded that Autopilot will shut off abruptly in some cases, although Super Cruise did a better job of notifying the driver when the system is disengaging.

On a related note, Tesla released a beta version in their brand-new full self-driving technology last week, and street tests have looked really promising.
