"The rhetoric has jumped ahead of the technology in many cases," says Adrian Lund, IIHS president. "What many people think of as a self-driving car doesn't exist yet. I can't hop in my car, enter a destination and have it take me from point A to point B.

"What I can do is activate adaptive cruise control to maintain a safe following distance and speed, use lane-keeping assist to center my car and blind-spot assist to monitor adjacent travel lanes. These technologies improve my daily commute and add a layer of safety, but I am still the driver. I can't fall asleep at the wheel."
