Mercedes' Level 3 autonomous system, which allows conditional hands-free driving, is the first approved for use in the U.S.—starting with Nevada.
The Level 3 system lets the car handle most driving duties but requires the driver to be able to take over at any time., and now it's been approved for use in America, starting with Nevada.
Drive Pilot is what Mercedes calls its Level 3 system, and the technology is set to make its U.S. debut as an option on the 2024 EQS and S-class sedans. Drive Pilot allows the driver to hand over primary duties to the car, meaning they don't have to touch the steering wheel or constantly watch the road on compatible thoroughfares. This is distinct from Level 2 systems such as GM's Super Cruise, which have monitoring systems to make sure the driver is looking at the road.
