According to a new AutoPacific research, Elon Musk’s electric car firm, Tesla, has been rated the “most-trusted” brand when it comes to completely autonomous vehicles. A customer impression study of fully autonomous vehicles was undertaken.
According to the poll, buyers had 56 automotive brands to choose from, with Tesla receiving the most votes (32%), Toyota receiving 19%, and BMW receiving 18%.
“With 32 per cent of consumers, Tesla claims the crown for being the most trusted brand for developing safe and reliable fully-autonomous vehicles,” the study said.

“This likely can be credited to much more `buzz` surrounding the automaker`s pricey and controversial Full-Self Driving driver assistance tech in which current Tesla owners are able to sign up as volunteers and help demo the Level 2 semi-autonomous hands-free capability for Tesla`s own R&D efforts,” it added.
If you purchase a vehicle from Tesla and are willing to pay an extra $12,000, you can get Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Suite. The system is not completely autonomous and the driver must remain attentive.
There is a Tesla Beta programme that qualifies drivers based on their Driver Safety Score, a score generated by analyzing their driving behavior.
Tesla’s Beta fleet has over 60,000 users, and Musk said that the company will release it in Canada in the near future.
