Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Mercedes adds a new car light color: Blue for self-driving
Tesla’s autopilot driving systems drive the car almost autonomously in
most conditions but still require active driver supervision. Mercedes’s new
Drive Pilot system can take over, operating the gas, brakes, and steering to
keep you moving along with the flow of traffic when you’re in highway traffic
going under 40 miles, or 64 km an hour. You don’t have to pay attention while
the system works and can play games or watch videos on the center touch screen
while your car crawls along. If someone were to get in a crash while using this
system, as long as they’re using it correctly and the car has been properly
maintained, Mercedes will accept liability. The system has already been
available in Germany for more than a year, and, so far, no one has had to take
them up on that. Starting next year, the system will become available on
Mercedes’ two most expensive sedan models, over a hundred thousand dollars, the
gasoline-powered S-class and the electric EQS in the US states of California
and Nevada. On top of that, you’ll need to pay $2,500 to use the system for the
first year. It might not be so practical as you won’t drive under 40 miles per
hour on freeways for so long. But it’s Mercedes after all. You wouldn’t buy a
Mercedes S-class only for practical purposes.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about how luxurious Mercedes’s
Drive Piot system is.
