00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:02.700
- [Steve] So you bought
yourself a fancy new car

2
00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:04.620
with the latest and greatest

3
00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:06.630
in driver-assist technology.

4
00:00:06.630 --> 00:00:09.300
Salesperson even told you
it's got something called

5
00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:12.870
Level 2 self-driving,
which has gotta be better

6
00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:15.210
than whatever level one is.

7
00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:18.690
I mean, you gotta be
able to check one text

8
00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:21.090
from behind the wheel, right?

9
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:23.890
No, you should not check that text,

10
00:00:23.890 --> 00:00:28.140
but it seems like a
lot of you are, anyway.

11
00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.360
At least, according to a new study.

12
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:32.880
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

13
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.000
talked to over 600 owners

14
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.200
of various Level 2 driver-assist systems.

15
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.870
What they found, was that plenty of them

16
00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:46.366
were eating, texting, or
otherwise taking their eyes

17
00:00:46.366 --> 00:00:48.690
off the road while driving.

18
00:00:48.690 --> 00:00:51.150
A large percentage of those drivers,

19
00:00:51.150 --> 00:00:54.930
for some brands, even the
majority of those drivers,

20
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:58.003
felt perfectly comfortable
describing their vehicle

21
00:00:58.003 --> 00:01:00.003
as totally self-driving.

22
00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:03.750
That's terrifying, and I'm scared.

23
00:01:03.750 --> 00:01:05.790
The IIHS looked at owners

24
00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:08.880
of three different
semi-autonomous systems.

25
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:12.630
There's Nissan and
Infiniti's ProPILOT Assist,

26
00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:17.400
Tesla's Autopilot, and
Cadillac's Super Cruise.

27
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.550
Twelve percent of those
Nissan and Infiniti owners

28
00:01:20.550 --> 00:01:24.090
were comfortable calling
their car self-driving.

29
00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:28.680
That number shot up to
42% of Tesla owners,

30
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.110
and for Cadillac, 53.

31
00:01:31.110 --> 00:01:34.350
That's a majority. What the (beep) y'all?

32
00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:37.290
Of course, there are no self-driving cars

33
00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:40.299
that you can buy right
now off of a dealer lot.

34
00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:43.230
There are plenty that will help you out

35
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:46.350
with Lane Keep and Radar
Cruise and things like this,

36
00:01:46.350 --> 00:01:50.070
but there's nothing that
actually makes it safe

37
00:01:50.070 --> 00:01:52.050
for you to take your eyes off the road

38
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:55.260
or your hands fully off the wheel.

39
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:58.113
Still pay attention while you're driving.
