Mercedes leads the way with Level 3 self-driving vehicles in California.
TL;DR
Mercedes-Benz has become the first automaker to receive permission from California regulators to sell or lease vehicles with Level 3 self-driving technology on designated roads. The Drive Pilot system will allow drivers to take their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel, but only under certain conditions and on specific roads. The system relies on sensors installed throughout the vehicle and will be available on 2024 S-Class and EQS Sedan models, with deliveries slated for later this year.
