Curious to hear what you think the other options are apart from the driver.

  The auto manufacturer, as they're the entity actually operating the vehicle. You can absolve yourself of responsibility with enough legalese "self-driving doesn't work, it will kill your kitten, you're responsible when you plow though a Denny's" but it doesn't make it right. Mercedes is taking liability, it's possible. You have no control over how your car's self-driving operates, you can take over control but that doesn't mean you're driving. You're the passenger in one of those student-driver cars, you might have your own steering wheel and brake but it doesn't make you the driver. The life-guard isn't the swimmer.

    Mercedes is confident in their system, that's the difference

    > The auto manufacturer, as they're the entity actually operating the vehicle. Not at level 2 they are not. At level 2 the driver is in control. FSD is level 2. The Mercedes system you are talking about is level 3. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-driving_car https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-driving_car > Honda was the first manufacturer to sell an SAE Level 3 car,[12][13][14] followed by Mercedes-Benz in 2023.[
