And also how the system tried to protect the occupants in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, the driver engagement factor analysed the amount of education the driver was given about the features and limitations of the system, as well as instructions on how to operate it. Interestingly, it\u2019s this area that Tesla scored worst in \u2013 despite having the most impressive scores in both system performance and safety back-ups.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-see-also\">\n<p>by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\/about-us\/#moldrich\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Curtis Moldrich<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"posted-by\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.carmagazine.co.uk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"g-cols wpb_row type_default valign_top vc_inner vc_custom_1585038969469\">\n<div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"w-post-elm post_content\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/consultancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>CUT COTS OF THE FLEET WITH OUR AUDIT PROGRAM<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/consultancy\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5377\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/nueva-ley-auditoria.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/nueva-ley-auditoria.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/nueva-ley-auditoria-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/nueva-ley-auditoria-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"\" width=\"858\" height=\"572\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The audit is a key tool to know the overall status and provide the analysis, the assessment, the advice, the suggestions and the actions to take in order to cut costs and increase the efficiency and efficacy of the fleet.
