The SAE International has endorsed joint efforts by AAA, Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, and the National Safety Council for common naming of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
Consumer Reports tested the Tesla Autopilot feature and found the latest version of the automatic lane-changing feature is less competent than a human driver.
Consumer Reports now recommends the Tesla Model 3, after testers had found a recent over-the-air update improved the car's braking distance by almost 20 feet.
Elon Musk, Tesla chief executive officer, said there is a braking issue with the Model 3 sedan but it will be fixed with a software update within days.
