AutoExec Summary

New research is being conducted by Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) to assess the intrusiveness of lane-keep assist technology in new cars. The aim is to identify systems that hinder rather than aid drivers, going beyond standard safety tests for a five-star rating. The organization will share results with manufacturers to influence future safety protocols in 2026. The first round of testing involved four vehicles, including a “positive reference” and three models based on consumer feedback. Detailed results will be released once the overall program is finished.

Brands mentioned: GWM, Chery, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Kia, Genesis.
