Mercedes Benz has been working on its Level 3 driving for some time and its motorway abilities are impressive. However, the biggest challenge for manufacturers is in urban environments. So when I was offered the chance to experience its advanced autonomous system through the streets of one of the world’s biggest cities, I jumped at the chance.
Described as a Level 2 ‘plus plus’ system, the technology provides full city driving, without touching the brake or accelerator. And while you will need to keep your hands on the wheel – and remain alert – it will steer you through junctions, left and right turns, traffic lights and even u-turns.
