    I’m not against them starting it. I’m against them telling the drivers they can take their hands off the wheel, their feet off the pedal, and watch media on the center console. We aren’t there yet.

      Level 3 autonomy is exactly that. Mercedes allows you to do other things than driving in specific situations like specific (!) highways etc.

      BMW also has Level 3 on low speeds on specific highways.

      This is not autonomy in all situations but only during the day, no rain etc.

      For limited situations the car fully takes over and in case of an accident it is legally Mercedes’ or BMW’s responsibility not the driver.

      That specific situation is indicated by the lights.
