Assisted driving systems installed in Tesla, Hyundai and Subaru vehicles failed to avoid head-on collisions in testing done by AAA, though Tesla's Autopilot system slowed the vehicle to walking speed before striking an oncoming foam model of a car.

The AAA, a US consumer and travel services organisation, said the tests illustrate how assisted driving and automated braking systems fall short of true autonomous driving and require drivers to stay in control of vehicles.

In their latest study of the limitations of assisted driving technology, researchers for AAA set up four scenarios for the three tested models: Overtaking a dummy car travelling in the same direction as the tested vehicle; overtaking a dummy cyclist heading in the same direction; confronting a dummy car on a head-on collision course at 40km/h; and avoiding a dummy bicycle rider crossing the test car's path.

But the Hyundai Santa Fe and Subaru Forester did not appear to detect or slow to avoid colliding with the foam dummy vehicle during a simulated head-on collision. Tesla did not reply with comments on the study. Hyundai said it “is reviewing the findings in AAA's report as part of our ongoing commitment to customer safety”.

When was those test done? in the name of tesla, the recent version of FSD is what plays a bigger role. What if they used an old version of FSD?
