Linking to the actual test so you don't have to visit the verge.

What is interesting to me that many failed on the driver monitoring side which to me as a consumer (not a traffic authority) is probably actually a pro not a con. I don't want my car insessantly beeping at me for dumb reasons. I wouldn't intend to use these systems without attention but stricter controls will also mean more false positives.

By this logic Lexus, Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes, and even Ford seem great (somewhat depending on the model of the car).

Whats also funny is that the Tesla utterly failed almost all categories except the lane change (and passed emergency). But it can't even do that unless you're willing to pay them extra thousands of dollars for the software unlock.

Am I blind? What on earth does A M P and G mean

Edit:

A system may be assigned a rating of good, acceptable, marginal or poor

The chart could really use a legend included with it

Just guessing but maybe (G)ood, (A)cceptable, (M)arginal, (P)oor? Or perhaps (G)od-tier, (A)ss, (M)eh, and (P)wned?

Absolutely, I had to look it up in the pdf linked at the bottom, it's on page 30!
