When Consumer Reports tested the feature, drivers raised concerns that it doesn't help -- but could hurt.
Consumer Reports testers have"serious safety concerns" about the latest version of Tesla’s automatic lane-changing feature. By Rachel Siegel Rachel Siegel National business reporter Email Bio Follow May 22 at 11:17 AM The latest version of Tesla’s automatic lane changing feature may actually be less safe than a human driver, according to Consumer Reports.
In fact, David Friedman, vice president of advocacy at Consumer Reports, a nonprofit organization that tests products and conducts consumer-oriented research, said in the review that “Tesla is showing what not to do on the path toward self-driving cars” by launching automated driving features “that aren’t vetted properly.”
In a statement to Consumer Reports, Tesla said: “Navigate on Autopilot is based on map data, fleet data, and data from the vehicle’s sensors. However, it is the driver’s responsibility to remain in control of the car at all times, including safely executing lane changes.” Consumer Reports’s testers also disputed Tesla’s pitch that the car’s three rear-facing cameras can spot a fast-approaching vehicle faster than a driver.

Report: Cost Of Raising Neglected Children Still Low As EverWASHINGTON—In an encouraging sign for the nation’s most irresponsible parents, a report published Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has found the cost of raising neglected children remains at a historic low. “While the overall cost of living has continued to rise, negligent child-rearing has shown no corresponding increase, with the price of leaving your kids home alone for a couple nights while you skip out of town to a Native American casino staying almost completely flat,” read a section of the report, which also cited the continued affordability of failing to enroll your children in intramural sports leagues because you’re too loaded to drive to practice. “For those who would rather indulge themselves than invest in their kids’ education, hobbies, or doctor’s appointments, the cost of caring for a child is little more than the monthly price of a cable TV package, which they can tell their son or daughter to sit down in front of for hours on end while they’re out on the town.” The report reminded negligent parents that the cost savings are even higher the sooner they are able to have their kids forcibly removed by Child Protective Services.
