Fantastic news!
Mercedes-Benz is the world’s first automotive manufacturer to be granted not one, but two certifications of compliance for the use of SAE Level 3 conditionally automated driving systems in the U.S.
Following approval for the state of Nevada earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz’s innovative DRIVE PILOT* system has now been certified by the state of California. DRIVE PILOT will be available in the U.S. market as an option for model year 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and EQS Sedan models.
In May 2022, #MercedesBenz received the world’s first internationally valid certification for conditionally automated driving. This milestone made it possible to offer such a system as an option ex-works for vehicles from series production to customers in Germany. On suitable motorway sections and where traffic density is high, DRIVE PILOT can offer to take over the driving, initially up to the legally permitted speed of 60 km/h.
This gives customers back time so they can focus on certain secondary activities, such as enjoying a movie or browsing the web.
