This is an eyes off autonomy level. So you can read a book while it does its thing. It however only works in a very narrow set of conditions.
Tesla doesn't have anything that's eyes off yet. You need to monitor the road. Tesla seems to be going for breadth first (FSD beta working everywhere and doing every manouver) and not depth (autonomy only for highway without changing lanes but reliable enough for eyes off)
- flakeoil 4y agoIf that's the case, then I think Mercedes chose the best option. It's when doing long drives on highways it's really useful to be able to read a book, work, play a board game with the passengers, talking in a focused way, nap etc. It's most likely also much easier to make a car drive autonomously on highways versus on smaller roads, city roads, dirt roads etc.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIt's not safe to nap, but you can do the rest of that. They're promising 10 seconds of warning when the car wants you to take over.
- ZainRiz 4y agoI wonder how much of those 10 seconds would the car spend trying to notify the driver. "Warning, take the wheel! Death imminent" takes a good 6 seconds to say :P
- Dylan16807 4y agoI think you should try actually saying that out loud. If I don't pause after the word "wheel", I can say that at a reasonable pace in two seconds. Just "Warning, take the wheel!" gives you time to pause between each repetition and still say it 5 times.
- rnjesus 4y agothe “hull alarm” sound from eve online would be perfect for this
