Mercedes-Benz's Drive Pilot system is now legal in two U.S. states.
automated driver-assist feature has been approved for use in California, making it the first hands-off, eyes-off system available to the public in the state.at the start of the year, and more states are likely to approve the system in the months and years ahead. It was first launched in Mercedes' home market of Germany in 2022., is designed to function in dense traffic on pre-mapped stretches of highway but only at speeds of up to 40 mph.
A Level 3 car allows for hands-off, eyes-off operation in certain situations, but is still far short of true autonomous driving as the driver still needs to be ready to take back control at any time, after being prompted with a warning. Level 4 is the first level where a car can handle itself for extended periods without intervention from a driver. All other systems currently available for public purchase rank at Level 2, as they require constant monitoring from the driver.
The first cars to feature Drive Pilot in the U.S. will be the 2024 S-Class sedan and 2024 EQS electric hatch, which will be available from the third quarter of the year.
