Mercedes is making a huge gamble, IMO. If their autonomy fails to notice a hazard and causes a crash, they're setting themselves up to take ALL liability by telling drivers they don't need to pay attention. Compare that to Tesla which says the driver still needs to watch the road and be ready take over, which implies Tesla wants to push any liability for failures onto the driver. This distinction is what separates L2 and L3 autonomy. Yet...Tesla's AP is certainly capable of L3, especially if you were to limit its usage in the same way as Mercedes, but Tesla doesn't want liability.
