Tesla Autopilot Results in Decrease in Driver Attention, Finds Out New MIT Study
News 18Electric vehicle maker Tesla’s Autopilot results in a noticeable decrease in driver attention when activated, finds a new report. According to a new study, based on MIT Advanced Vehicle Technology data, drivers tend to look at things non-related to driving more often and for longer periods of time when Autopilot is activated. “Driving-related off-road glances were less frequent with Autopilot active than in manual driving, while non-driving related glances to the down/centre-stack areas were the most frequent and the longest," it added. According to auto-tech website Electrek, Tesla has been releasing quarterly “safety reports", which they use to claim Tesla vehicles with Autopilot engaged have “close to 10x lower chances of being involved in an accident than the average car".
