Tesla Inc. leads the pack among automakers offering the safety features that are making vehicles more autonomous, according to a report by car-shopping researcher Edmunds.
Volvo Cars and Honda Motor Co. round out the top three carmakers that Edmunds ranked by the prevalence within their lineup of adaptive cruise control, automatic parking, blind-spot detection and lane departure warning. Companies score higher if the features are standard rather than optional. Such safety offerings are in more than 60 percent of models this year, compared with less than a quarter in 2012, according to the report.
