I did a search and didn't see this posted elsewhere, but I stumbled on a fairly interesting set of tests done on the ADAS systems in the leading EVs in China in November 2022. They did 10 different scenarios (7 daylight, 3 at night) including a bunch of tests that typical standardized testing don't get to test (only made possible because they rented out a national test center that has a full scale model of public roads). Video has English subtitles so is fairly easy to follow.
Some background: Tesla is a 2022 Model 3 equipped with the FSD package, but video mentions in China it does not respond to traffic lights even though it recognizes them (so effectively it is just the same as EAP/NOA). It has no radar (AKA it is running Tesla Vision), given that was removed in around November 2021 (video mentions this too versus other cars that have radar):
Giga Shanghai follows Fremont's lead and ditches radar
For all the flack Tesla gets for phantom braking in the forums, removing radar in Tesla Vision, and all the FUD about FSD Beta running over child dummies, you would think they have the least capable, most unsafe, ADAS system. These tests show how the Tesla system is tuned to be safer in more scenarios (at the cost of false positives).
Test results (out of 10 tests):
Tesla Model 3: 10 good
Zeekr 001: 4 good, 2 average
Changan SL03: 2 good, 1 average
BYD Han EV: 1 good
BYD Seal (Atto 4): 2 average
Unfortunately they didn't give details on the sensor mix of each one, but they did mention none of them are equipped with Lidar, but rather a mix of cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. From my search the SL03 was promoted to have Lidar, but it might not be equipped in this particular car (or didn't end up in production).
SL03 uses a Qualcomm platform for its ADAS, similar to what GM is looking to move to for Supercruise.
They didn't test the Nio ET5 (which does have Lidar) because it was a preproduction car and didn't have the software ready yet.
The Tesla passed with flying colors getting a good rating on 10/10 tests, with others not even coming close. Zeeker 001 with the Mobileye SuperVision came a distant second, although in 2 tests reviewers note it did better than the Tesla: in the night bike crossing test it was able to perform an "Antelope Avoidance" maneuver instead of just braking, and in the disabled smoking car test it was able to turn on the fog lights automatically as it approached (an improvement after the latest software update, where in a previous test it did poorly responding to a vehicle in fog).
