I wasn't referring to "self driving" capabilities. I was mainly referencing DISTRONIC PLUS®, Lane keeping assist(LKAS), Automatic emergency braking (AEB) and collision avoidance.
We owned 2 MB sedans and an SUV and all had the same issues.

I definitely get where you're coming from. There just isn't enough data available for Tesla yet from the IIHS. At least from their latest report dated May 28, 2020. I hope it comes out soon.
What I do know is that the Tesla Model 3 scored high (if not the highest) marks as tested by multiple orgs such as NHTSA [1], Euro NCAP [2,3], IIHS [4].
