However, it’s not perfect. With drive assistance features becoming standard in many vehicles, it’s good to remember they’re not all the same.

The cars were put through four different scenarios to test their ACC. The first involved driving at 31 miles per hour toward a … [Read more...] about Tesla Model 3 Outperforms In New IIHS Level 2 Autonomy Tests
