Cadillac outranks Tesla in Consumer Reports semi-autonomous tests

It's tempting to assume that Tesla's Autopilot represents the gold standard for semi-autonomous driving features, but Consumer Reports would beg to differ. The publication has released the results of its first rankings for automated driving systems, and Cadillac's Super Cruise edged out Autopilot to receive the top rating. Both rivals fared well in terms of abilities -- Cadillac's advantage was in safety. Autopilot currently checks for driver attention solely through the steering wheel, sending a warning (and if necessary, stopping the car) if you take your hands away for 24 seconds. Super Cruise, however, uses a camera to track your gaze and will deliver a warning if you look away for just four seconds.
