After achieving SAE Level 3 certification in Nevada back in January, Mercedes has done the same in California as well.
Published Jun 8th, 2023 6:55PM EDTTesla might have some catching up to do in the area of self-driving. No, really. I’m serious.
While Tesla still considers its Full Self-Driving system a beta, Mercedes has been getting regulatory approval for SAE Level 3 certification for multiple states in the United States. The company has now achieved conditional self-driving certification in California, the first automaker in the country to do so., the system will be allowed to take over “On suitable freeway sections and where there is high traffic density…up to speeds of 40 mph.
The control buttons required for this are located on the steering wheel rim, on the left and right above the thumb recesses. Once conditions are suitable, the system indicates availability on the control buttons. When the driver activates DRIVE PILOT, the system controls the speed and distance, and effortlessly guides the vehicle within its lane. The route profile, events occurring on the route and traffic signs are correspondingly taken into consideration.
Markus Schäfer, Member of the Board of Management of Mercedes‑Benz Group AG, Chief Technology Officer, said in a statement that “Mercedes-Benz DRIVE PILOT is the world’s only SAE Level 3 system with internationally valid type approval.” “It builds on a very robust foundation, setting new industry standards. DRIVE PILOT uses a highly sophisticated vehicle architecture based on redundancy with a multitude of sensors enabling comfortable and safe conditionally automated driving. The certification by the authorities in California and in Nevada once again confirms that redundancy is the safe and thus the right approach.”
