We can now officially join the 21st century and all the exciting new advancements that come along with it.

What Does Level 3 Autonomy Mean?

Level 3 autonomy is a term used to indicate that a car can operate itself both under certain conditions, but still have a human driver available to take the wheel if needed. This means that those of us who like to be involved in the driving process can still do so, while taking advantage of the many safety and comfort benefits of autonomous driving.

What’s So Cool About Mercedes’ Autonomous System?

• Adaptive Cruise Control: The system will automatically adjust your speed according to the flow of traffic around you. No more constant tapping of the pedal to maintain the right speed.
• Advanced Safety Features: Mercedes’ system is packed with advanced safety features to keep you and other drivers as safe as possible.

It’s clear that Mercedes has really taken a leap forward in the world of autonomous driving, and their Level 3 system is going to make things much easier for all of us.
