Lame. So politically correct. There are only people dying who were refused the proven working therapeutics and treatments. Everything that actually works, peer reviewed, is banned. You have a right to die, or to overcome it by yourself. Your doctor and pharmacy will get a HUGE fine or lose their license to give you what have saved hundreds of thousands of lives in other countries, until it was prohibited there as well. This thing has multiple avenues of super safe, super reliable prevention and cure. After, you will be resistant the rest of your life. Unless you take something into your bloodstream to interfere.

I like the emergency vehicle notification.

I love the autonomous driving.. Also I like the dash cam and the security cameras...

Perfect 👍 I want this kind

A mix would be great for me personally, I find driving on the Autobahn quite tedious but I really enjoy driving on smaller twisting roads so having the option to disengage it for the fun of driving would be great.

This certainly looks like a major update from Distronic 3 w/ lane keep assist. It will be great to see it with full speed capabilities. Urban interstate driving is such a pain in the tail between the people driving 20 mph below the speed limit and in whatever lane they decide to choose and those who for whatever reason decide to drive 40 mph over the speed limit, again in whatever series of lanes, just to get around everyone else.

I hope this becomes accessible to more people on normal roads soon so we can have comparisons between the self driving systems between different companies. It is incredibly exciting seeing this being pushed by all cars. It definitely will save so many lives in the future after they get it down.

Building a prototype for a closed track with prepared events is the easy part. For reality you need tons of data from customers that move in reality.

Humans drive using sight as the primary sense, not lidar. Therefore level 4-5 autonomous driving should be possible using cameras as the primary sensor, without LIDAR. Mercedes have lidar and yet cannot match the capabilities of FSD. I would argue it is Mercedes pulling the con job, "level 3" that they dare not demonstrate on a real road and limited to 60 kph.

to be honest the only thing impressive about this was they emergency vehicle regonition up to 30 mph ? only on the Autobahn? You know how many times yo drive 30 on the autobahn spoiler not often. For example teslas fsd can do all of(except the emergency thing) this but faster and everywhere and thats just a level 2 system. In my opinion you should only get to call a vehicle level 1 2 3 4 5 if it can handle all or almost all scenarios and not like on specific scenario and then act like its better than everyone

How this is better than Tesla? Nobody drives with 60km/h on a highway. Useless at this moment.

For normal driving i have absolutely no interest in autonomous driving. I love driving. But for cases like this below 60-70km/t its great.
