Tesla's Autopilot system, once a leader in advanced driver assistance technology, ranked eighth in Consumer Reports' latest evaluation. The system is placed behind Ford, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen. Mercedes-Benz's system on the EQE 350 SUV was praised for its execution and unique features. However, it lacked a driver monitoring camera, a key feature in Ford’s BlueCruise and GM’s Super Cruise, which secured the top spots. Consumer Reports' Kelly Funkhouser noted Tesla’s system is "not nearly as good" as some expect.
