It's not even close.
Waymo is years ahead of anything coming out of Mercedes.
- robopsychology 4y agoWhich cars can you buy with Level 3 self-driving in the US? What states allow Waymo Level 3+ driving? Yes I can get around the SF Finance District if I sign up to be a beta tester with Waymo, and they do run in Pheonix, but Mercedes has full Level 3 signed off in Nevada. In fact Mercedes have said they will take ownership of self-driving accidents while Tesla for example points it to the individual driving.

If a company had flawless L5 but it was exclusive to millionaires driving cross-continent, it would be impressive engineering albeit a niche business. >Mercedes has full Level 3 signed off in Nevada I wonder why they're testing in Nevada and not the EU. Could it be that the EU stifles innovation with its strict laws?
- robopsychology 4y agoOr maybe it was actually started to roll out in Summer last year in the EU? Mercedes Level 3 cars expected to be priced at $50k, competitive with Tesla. https://etsc.eu/europes-first-cars-with-level-3-automated-driving-go-on-sale-in-germany/ https://etsc.eu/europes-first-cars-with-level-3-automated-dr...
