Mercedes-Benz will begin allowing consumers to order its DRIVE PILOT Level 3 self-driving assistant starting May 17, 2022, in Germany. The technology will be available as an option on the brand's flagship all-electric EQS sedan, as well as the iconic gas-powered S-Class.
Upon activating Mercedes' Drive Pilot, owners can allow the car to drive itself in certain scenarios and under various conditions. For example, Green Car Congress notes that Drive Pilot can be used in heavy and congested areas, but only on "suitable motorway sections" at speed of up to 37 mph.
