About 4 months ago I wrote in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29520685 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29520685 > I'm currently driving a pretty new Mercedes (company car), and its lane assistant regularly tries to kill me in construction areas because it wants me to follow the regular, currently inactive lane markings. I've gotten an even newer Mercedes since then (A250e, build finished 2022-03), and it's really impressive. The lane assistant no longer makes a mess in construction areas. It has adaptive cruise control, which works REALLY well, and I'd be comfortable relying on that on the highway, for example. It's sometimes breaks when I wouldn't, in dense traffic when I'm approaching an obstruction that I will drive around later. It has an enhanced lane assistant which does small corrections much earlier than the regular lane assistant, which I found annoying and switched off. It has sensors to the side and back to be aware of approaching cars when switching lanes. Long trips have become much more less stressful with that, and I can totally believe that this is on a good way towards level 3 self-driving. (This doesn't include the self-driving package, it's "just" what you get when you pay for the regular security/assistance tech).
