Forbes reports that “many drivers are convinced it’s possible to buy truly ‘autonomous’ cars, when in fact there’s no such thing available for sale, according to a recent report from the European New Car Assessment Program.” The Euro NCAP report said, “No car on the market today offers full automation or autonomy. [Still,] more than 70% of car drivers believe that it is already possible to purchase a car that can drive itself.” The Euro NCAP report “included test results for cars equipped with automated-driving technology, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane-Keeping Assist.” The report said, “Used correctly, this technology can help the driver to maintain a safe distance, speed, and to stay within the lane. … These systems should not be used in situations they are not designed for and should not be relied upon as an alternative to safe and controlled driving.”
