  From the article you linked: > Turns out, the 2017 E-Class is just playing coy when it comes to self-driving capabilities. It is the first production car to receive an autonomous driving license in Nevada. So the technical system (hardware+software) is as good as or better than a Model S, but Mercedes believe it is irresponsible to call that Autopilot and pretend like the car is fully autonomous, so they've put in restrictions like requiring some tiny driver input once every 60 seconds so it knows you're paying attention.
