Want the smartest car out there? DON'T buy a Tesla, Consumer Reports say
General Motors's Cadillac outscored Tesla in a new ranking of partially automated driving systems tested by Consumer Reports, The highly influential nonprofit organization, which tests and rates a variety of consumer products from mattresses and baby food to vehicles, said it compared Cadillac's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot with similar systems from Nissan and Volvo Car. It ranked the Cadillac system as top, followed by Tesla, Nissan and Volvo. Testers said Cadillac's Super Cruise system'does the best job of balancing high-tech capabilities with ensuring that the car is operated safely and that the driver is paying attention'. 'Easy to engage Tesla's Autopilot and clear to drivers whether the system is on or off' 'In Consumer Reports' first-ever ranking of partially automated driving systems, Cadillac's Super Cruise was top-rated because our testing shows it does the best job of balancing high-tech capabilities with ensuring that the car is operated safely and that the driver is paying attention,' it concluded. The results are a blow to Elon Musk's Tesla, which has prided itself on its technical innovation.
