I sent emails to IIHS Chamelle Matthew, Senior Communications Specialist ([email protected]) about:

  • What criteria did the IIHS President David Harkey use to claim these systems are ineffective? I cited the Tesla reports that AutoPilot is 8x safer than the NHTSA metric of accidents per million miles.
  • My next letter suggested improvements: (1) environmental warning and alert in adverse weather like heavy rain; (2) deployment as a count or percentage of cars sold if standard and ignore extra fee, optional versions, and; (3) percent of highways and roads are usable.
I have no idea if either email will be responded. I pointed out that in 2019 I bought my Tesla Model 3 and paid for optional AutoPilot. Within months, a temporary medical event was handled by AutoPilot and paid for itself that day.
