The Tesla NCAP rating was brought siren just because of the name otherwise performance wise it came out on top.
Not sure I understand the meaning of "brought siren just because of the name", any chance of a translation, please?
This is what NCAP said about the Model 3:
"Tesla’s pioneering role in self-driving technology is reflected in its top scores for Vehicle Assistance and Safety Backup. However, its “Autopilot” system does little to keep the driver engaged. Its distinct steering strategy gives the impression that either the car is driving itself or the driver has full control, and the system is more authoritarian than cooperative. Grading wise, the car is badly let down by its performance in Driver Engagement and ends up ranked 2 ‘Moderate’. On the upside, Tesla offers over-the-air updates and can rapidly introduce performance improvements, as they have shown to be doing in recent years."
The table of results seems reasonable. I've driven three of the cars in this list, and would say they've probably judged things fairly well, given the criteria they set:
1 Mercedes GLE - 174 (85% AC and 89% SB)
2 BMW 3 Series - 172 (82% AC and 90% SB)
3 Audi Q8 - 162 (78% AC and 84% SB)
4 Ford Kuga - 152 (66% AC and 86% SB)
5 Volkswagen Passat - 137 (76% AC and 61% SB)
6 Tesla Model 3 - 131 (36% AC and 95% SB)
7 Nissan Juke - 124 (52% AC and 72% SB)
8 Volvo V60 - 120 (71% AC and 49% SB)
9 Renault Clio - 105 (62% AC and 43% SB)
10 Peugeot 2008 - 101 (61% AC and 40% SB)
(AC = Assistance Competence, SB = Safety Backup)
