Honestly, I think this is pretty amazing. Stop and go traffic is the most annoying part of driving to me. Level 2 isn’t helpful as you need to pay constant attention with your foot over the brake in case the autopilot does something stupid.
I don’t know why more manufacturers don’t focus on this.
- cogman10 4y agoI have a Tesla with FSD from 2018 and it is indeed really nice in stop and go traffic. There are definitely situations where I don't trust the car, but keeping a lane on the interstate and creeping forward it does really well. It seems like something that other manufactures could also easily obtain with fairly little innovation.
- MBCook 4y agoLots of cars can do that, but the driver is still in charge. This system doesn’t require that, the driver can pay attention to other things.
- newaccount74 4y agoTesla and Mercedes are playing a totally different game. The Mercedes system only operates in narrow conditions, but you can watch Youtube videos while the car is driving. The Tesla system operates in almost any conditions, but you have to watch it like a hawk, and when FSD crashes the car Tesla will claim it was an operator error.
- gambiting 4y agoAlso just to be clear - Mercedes also has a system that operates in almost any conditions and up to 120mph, the system in question here that got certified as Level 3 is specifically up to 40mph where Mercedes accepts legal liability. You can still use their advanced cruise control systems above that but Mercedes won't accept legal responsibility and you have to pay full attention(same as in a Tesla).
