- New driver-assist, self-driving tech promising, but complete safety data still years out, Va. group says
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) notes that while new driver-assist and self-driving technologies show promise in preventing crashes, there are still concerns about driver reliance and insufficient safety data compared to human drivers. IIHS president David Harkey highlights automatic emergency braking as an effective feature but emphasizes the need for more real-world data to assess the long-term safety of autonomous systems.
