If tesla still has issues with self-driving cars and they are like a decade if not more ahead of everyone else. I dont believe this PR stunt.

Wow. Or Tesla are the real masters of the PR stunt, and are not a decade ahead of everyone.

EDIT I watched this comment drop from 15 pts to 5 pts. The Elon apologists are out in full force.

Mercedes has been investing radar since the Tesla Roadster. They are ahead of Tesla when for European regulation.

> Mercedes-Benz Cars says it plans to release “Drive Pilot,” a conditionally automated Level 3 system for automated driving

I think it's pretty irresponsible to publish a picture of a driver taking his eyes off the road to play Tetris on a system designed for Level 3.

Tesla and Elon Musk are lying through their teeth every option they get.

They can't even detect stationary emergency vehicles ffs..

Mercedes is accepting liability whenever their self driving system is engaged, meaning their insurance is on the hook. So I think they're pretty damn certain that it will work as intended.
