Emergency vehicle lights can cause a car to go off

A study conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed that an autonomous vehicle’s shared control feature is less likely to make drivers nervous than a hands-free option. The study, which involved five automated driving systems embedded in dashcams purchased off-the-shelf, showed that those whose systems had shared control were 40% less likely to say they would keep their hands off the wheel.
