Would you entrust your life, or the lives of others, to a manufacturer who fails to prevent collisions in basic crash tests?
The biggest difference between Level 2 and Level 3 driving is the liability shift. With Level 3 (when it's conditions are met) the driver can *legally* not pay attention to the road. And Mercedes is fully responsible for their software while it's enabled.
Level 3 is not Level 5…

Ford has already demonstrated what can happen when you rely on "hands-free" marketing. It has nothing to do with the capabilities of the system.
(Another car was stationary in the center lane when the Mustang Mach-E crashed into the back of it.)

And again, this manufacturer also fails to recognize a cyclist dummy in a simple crash test, despite having clear visibility for miles.

I would trust Mercedes anytime much more than Tesla or China canmakers.

People don't read the fine prints. Such a shame they don't. Do your own due diligence and understanding the huge difference between FSD and such claimed level 3 autonomous driving technology before jumping into the wrong bandwagon.

The same videos showing Tesla doing the same exact thing? The point of ADAS system is a driving aid, not a substitute for driving. And no FSD is not "self driving" no matter how many Tesla stans claim it to be
