E-NCAP launches the world's first driving assistance grading test, with BBA taking the top three spots

As the automotive industry transforms towards new energy, electric and intelligent directions, the field of automotive technology is continuously developing in the direction of the "new four trends" of electrification, networking, intelligence and sharing. More and more automobile brands have begun to develop ADAS driving assistance systems and apply them to their latest vehicle platforms.

In order to assess the safety of the mixed "driving assistance systems" in the market, Europe's most authoritative collision test organization Euro NCAP (hereinafter referred to as: E-NCAP) has teamed up with Thatcham Research, an American auto insurance company, to launch the world's first "driving assistance system classification test" to reduce people's confusion about its functions.

NCAP's evaluation criteria for assisted driving functions mainly focus on two aspects: assistance capability (based on the balance between driver participation and vehicle assistance) and emergency safety preparation.

目前已对首批10款车型进行了测试，其中豪华品牌BBA相应车型均获得最高评级，而一向以自动辅助驾驶著称的特斯拉反而排名靠后。

Car selection opinion:

Although the enthusiasm for autonomous driving has remained high in recent years, in my opinion, the current autonomous driving technology is still in its early stages, especially for the Chinese automobile market. Whether in terms of policies or external environment, there is still a long way to go before achieving fully autonomous driving.
