Driver Assistance Systems Cost You 20% of SUV Miles A recent study shows that driver assistance systems consume about 20 percent of total SUV mileage. In practice, that extra mileage translates into higher energy use, wear-and-tear, and ultimately a larger cost of ownership. I first noticed the impact when a

In July 2025 EuroNCAP found that the average perception-decision-action latency for Level-4 autonomous systems was 130 ms, disproving the common belief in a two-second pause. Most drivers still feel a delay because visual attention shifts create an illusion of slowness. Driver Assistance Systems: Decoding Response Latency I have spent years
