Mercedes-Benz reportedly said a few days ago that the company has received approval from the German Automotive Authority (KBA) to sell its Drive Pilot off-the-hand driving assistance system in Germany.
It is understood that the Drive Pilot system was approved as an L3 level automatic driving system, allowing drivers to take their hands off their hands in slow traffic, and the system is higher than Tesla Autopilot's L2 level.
Approved by the German Automotive Administration (KBA), the system can be used at speeds of 60 km /h (37 mi/ h) on motorways in Germany of about 13,000 km/h.
Mercedes-Benz said in a statement, "The Drive Pilot system can help drivers avoid traffic and do minor things such as communicating with colleagues in the in-car office, writing emails, surfing the Internet and watching movies." "The DRIVE PILOT system will be officially launched from 2022 for new vehicles or through OTA.
