If the car proceeds to crash into the car in front of you, Mercedes is on the hook, not you. I doubt your liability is waved when reading a book while using the adaptive cruise control in your car.

In the meantime, it keeps tabs on a preset route and traffic signs and signals. The system can also brake and/or maneuver to avoid potential situations.” So, it reacts to traffic signs, and can change lanes to pass slower cars.
