Automated Vehicular Safety Systems: Are They Safe?

Since most of us turn off lane departure ‘assistance’ as an example, it would appear that few claims where the vehicle was not squarely in lane might ever be paid if that were the case. Claims seem to be paid based on at fault determinations, not whether a particular feature was disabled or enabled.

As insurance ramifications are well OT regarding the reliability or lack thereof of MG or other AEB systems this should be another topic of its own if ‘we’ wish to pursue it; it is an interesting thought and perhaps more so if Tesla ‘autopilot’ crashes are included in that discussion.
