Mercedes-Benz is the first in the United States with Level 3 autonomous driving. Play Tetris while sitting in the driver’s seat.

There are five levels of autonomy for self-driving cars – in level three there’s no requirement to have your hands on the wheel, and you don’t need to focus on what’s happening on the road which is a requirement in level two. Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot technology, which is Level 3, is now approved in Nevada, USA. However, only at speeds up to about 65 km / h.

The driver’s face and head must remain in front of the sensors in the vehicle, but do not need to keep their eyes on the road when Drive Pilot is activated. Other companies like Waymo and Cruise think Level Three is a move that can be unsafe, and instead they invest directly in Level Four, where the driver doesn’t have to think about how to drive the car at all.

Self-driving carA self-driving car, also known as an autonomous car, driverless car, or robotic car (automated car), is a vehicle capable of traveling without human intervention. Self-driving cars use sensors to perceive their surroundings, such as optical and thermal cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasound/sonard, GPS, odometry, and inertial units of measurement. Control systems interpret sensory information to create a 3D model of the surroundings. Depending on the model, the vehicle determines appropriate navigation lanes, traffic controls and obstacle management strategies.
