What Mark said in his first paragraph, is covered under Euro NCAP 5 starsafety rating, in conjuction with one of the 5 levels of autonomous driving.
Given most new cars on our roads today, have a safety rating of either 4 or 5 stars and include at least level one ore two of autonomous driving.
Euro NCAP safety rating:
0 star safety: Meeting type-approval standards so can legally be sold but lacking critical modern safety technology.
1 star safety: Marginal crash protection and little in the way of crash avoidance technology.
2 star safety: Nominal crash protection but lacking crash avoidance technology.
3 star safety: At least average occupant protection but not always equipped with the latest crash avoidance features.
4 star safety: Overall good performance in crash protection and all round; additional crash avoidance technology may be present.
5 star safety: Overall excellent performance in crash protection and well equipped with comprehensive and robust crash avoidance technology.
Autonomous levels:
Like many of us, these features wern’t present when we learned to drive. Personally, I’d prefer not to have them or at least have the ability to turn them off, as I find many of the bings and bongs distracting if not unnerving.
