How exactly is Mercedes accepting liability? I mean to say, how does this work in practice? Who absorbs the demerit points if your car is accused of going 40 in a 30 zone?
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> How exactly is Mercedes accepting liability? You’re indemnified.
- kbos87 3y agoMercedes can’t indemnify you. Local police and prosecutors make those decisions.
- nradov 3y agoNope. Local police and prosecutors have no authority to make decisions on liability. Their authority is limited to criminal matters. However, police reports can generally be used as evidence in civil trials where judges and juries make decisions about liability. There may be some circumstances where a driver operating a Mercedes-Benz vehicle using Drive Pilot could be committing a criminal offense. For example, I think sitting in the driver's seat while intoxicated would still be illegal even if you're not actually driving. But that is separate from liability.
