Mercedes-Benz's Partially Automated Driving System Gets California Approval

Mercedes-Benz Group said Friday that it has received
certification from California state authorities for a driving
system that is automated under limited conditions.
The German luxury car maker said its Drive Pilot system is a
Level 3 self-driving technology under SAE International--formerly
the Society of Automotive Engineers--standards. This means the
automated function takes over certain driving tasks, but a driver
is still required and needs to be ready to take control of the
vehicle at all times.
The system will be available in the U.S. for Mercedes-Benz's
S-Class and EQS Sedan models, with the first cars delivered to
customers in late 2023, the company said.
Mercedes‑Benz said it aims to expand availability of this system
to additional markets in the future.
