华盛顿，3月31日（路透社）——美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）周二批评了政府对驾驶员辅助系统缺乏监管，并对汽车制造商的相关宣传提出了质疑。
NTSB正在举行听证会，以确定两起涉及福特汽车公司免提高级驾驶员辅助系统BlueCruise的致命撞车事故的可能原因。

NTSB委员托马斯·查普曼表示，他对美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）感到失望，称该局在解决驾驶员辅助系统部署相关问题上“缺乏领导力”。

2024年的两起撞车事故均涉及2022款福特野马Mach-E电动SUV，当时车辆正处于该公司的部分自动驾驶模式，在圣安东尼奥和费城以高速追尾静止车辆。
NTSB委员多次质疑，那些可以完成部分驾驶任务但要求驾驶员保持专注、随时准备接管车辆的辅助系统，是否配备了足够的安全保障措施。
NTSB主席詹妮弗·霍门迪表示，汽车制造商在宣传自动化是解决美国每年约4万人道路死亡问题的方案时，需要谨慎行事。“人类并不擅长自动化监控任务，很容易变得自满，”霍门迪补充道，“在理想情况下，（NHTSA）应该为安全技术设定最低性能标准。”

NHTSA没有立即置评。
自2025年以来，NTSB和NHTSA一直在调查BlueCruise的使用情况，以解决关于系统局限性的问题，并评估驾驶员的反应能力。福特表示，BlueCruise是一款高级免提驾驶系统，可在美国和加拿大97%的无交叉路口和交通信号灯的高速公路上使用。
近年来，NTSB已经对包括特斯拉Autopilot在内的多款高级驾驶员辅助系统展开了多项调查。2023年12月，电动汽车制造商特斯拉同意召回200万辆汽车，为其Autopilot驾驶员辅助系统安装新的安全保障措施。

WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) – The National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday criticized the lack of government regulations on driver assistance systems and raised questions about claims made by automakers.
The NTSB is holding a hearing to determine the probable cause of two fatal crashes involving Ford Motor’s hands-free advanced driver assistance system BlueCruise.

NTSB board member Thomas Chapman said he was disappointed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, saying it has shown a “lack of leadership” in failing to address issues surrounding the deployment of driver assistance systems.

Both crashes in 2024 involved 2022 model year Ford Mustang Mach-Es operating in the company’s partial automation mode in 2024 rear-end crashes in which the Ford SUVs struck stationary vehicles at highway speeds in San Antonio and Philadelphia.
NTSB board members have repeatedly questioned if adequate safeguards were included in driver assistance systems that carry out some tasks but require drivers to be attentive and ready to take over for other tasks.
NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy said automakers need to be careful about claims that automation is the solution to addressing the deaths of about 40,000 Americans annually on U.S. roads. “Humans are poorly suited for automation monitoring tasks and susceptible to complacency,” Homendy said adding “in a perfect world, (NHTSA) would set minimum performance standards for safety technologies.

NHTSA did not immediately comment.
Since 2025, both the NTSB and NHTSA have been investigating the use of BlueCruise to address questions about system limitations and to evaluate drivers’ ability to respond. Ford says BlueCruise is an advanced hands-free driving system that operates on 97% of U.S. and Canadian highways with no intersections or traffic signals.
The NTSB has opened several investigations in recent years into advanced driver assistance systems, including Tesla’s Autopilot. In December 2023, electric car maker Tesla agreed to recall 2 million vehicles to install new safeguards for its Autopilot driver assistance system.
