The original Tesla Model 3 is an extremely safe vehicle, so much so that in 2018, it was named the automobile with the lowest risk of injury among all vehicles assessed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at the time.
According to the results of China's IVISTA Intelligent Vehicle Integration test, the updated Model 3 appears to carry on its predecessor's history of safety.
New Tesla Model 3 Receives 5 Stars In China's IVISTA Intelligent Vehicle Integration Test
China's IVISTA Intelligent Vehicle Integration exam assesses a vehicle's enhanced safety features. According to IVISTA's official website, its platform has been approved by both the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) and the Municipality of Chongqing. Vehicles are tested by IVISTA under a variety of scenarios that put their modern safety features to the test.
And, according to IVISTA's findings, the improved Tesla Model 3, which was recently debuted in North America, appears to be a very safe vehicle. The car was evaluated using four metrics: smart driving, smart security, intelligent interaction, and smart energy efficiency.
The improved Model 3 achieved a "Good" rating in all four criteria. Interestingly, the vehicle was not assessed for "Smart Parking," a measure included in IVISTA's assessments.
Analyzing the Enhanced Tesla Model 3: A Transition to Pure Vision Technology and Anticipated Safety Ratings
The new Tesla Model 3 is a pure-vision vehicle, which means it no longer has radar or ultrasonic sensors. Instead, the vehicle's safety and driver-assist features are handled by a pure vision system that consists of eight outside cameras. Despite this, the Model 3's scores indicate that it fared well in the IVISTA testing.
The safety ratings for the upgraded Tesla Model 3 have yet to be released in the United States or Europe, but based on the vehicle's performance in China's IVISTA Intelligent Vehicle Integration test, the all-electric sedan appears to have a good chance of receiving an equally impressive safety rating as its predecessor.
Tesla is recognized for its car safety, so it wouldn't be surprising if the improved Model 3 is just as safe — if not safer — than the original Model 3. IVISTA’s results from its tests with the upgraded Tesla Model 3 can be viewed here.
