My other complaint is that ADAS systems weigh heavily in their ratings, but most factory ADAS systems are barely functional, with false positives and false negatives.

Many drivers use Advanced Driver Assistance Systems as a substitute for driving skill and paying attention to traffic conditions.

ANCAP don’t even do their own testing. They literally just copy ENCAP ratings.

That is why so many vehicles in the Australian market are unrated.

Our country must be an international laughing stock by how many of our drivers are incompetent.

If you watch a few episodes of DashCams Australia, you will see some of the worse road-users in Australia, and they are all either oblivious or entitled and don’t give a shit about anyone else.

Considering how few people don’t have DashCams and how DCAU don’t show snuff films, there must be hundreds of other incidents where they either weren’t caught on camera or were unable to be published due to fatality or serious injury.

Also, international manufacturers struggle to keep up with demand for replacement car parts; I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some production schedulers asking themselves “why are we shipping so many parts to Australia for major collision repairs?”.
