Mercedes dials up the speed of its hands-free, eyes-off Drive Pilot feature


The system will now support speeds up to 95km/h.

For Drive Pilot to work, there needs to be a vehicle in front of your car, reasonable road conditions with readable markings and lines, and clear weather and optimal light. But by dialing up the maximum speed, Mercedes now seems interested in selling Drive Pilot as the ideal partially autonomous system for roadtrips in general. Mercedes is in the process of getting approval for turquoise marking lights that show up the headlights, taillights, and side mirrors, so other drivers know the Level 3 system is in use.
