> In recent European safety testing, a Tesla Model 3 with Autopilot placed sixth out of 10 systems, getting high marks for performance and ability to respond to emergencies, but falling short on its ability to maintain a driver’s focus on the road.
This undermines my confidence in the entire rating system. At the very least, the drivers focus should be its own rating distinct from the performance of the piloting.
The serious selling point of any of these systems is greater-than-human reactions in emergency situations, and so a buyer going off these ratings could be mistakenly lead to believe that they are getting a better system in a Cadillac when they flat out aren’t.

The big difference was that the safety functions on Tesla were subpart. As CR rates products based on their overall scores, this resulted in SuperCruise taking the crown. TLDR: Ratings aren't just about one feature. Everything matters.
