Mercedes obtained from KBA , that is; by the authority German transport, the approval to be able to use the Drive Pilot system on some motorway sections of the country. The German house, from the middle & agrave; of 2022, will begin to offer on some of its models, it will start & agrave; from the new S-Class, a Level 3 assisted driving system . (Here we explain the meaning of the various Levels) This is a very important approval as Mercedes & egrave; the first manufacturer in the world to meet the UN-R157 requirements for Level 3 driving assistance.
We are obviously not talking about true autonomous driving but only about a more driving assistance system; evolved than those available today. Drive Pilot will be initially available on 13,191 km of motorway sections in Germany . Cars equipped with this system will only be able to use it under precise conditions and precisely in traffic and up to a speed; maximum speed of 60 km/h.
When the driver activates Drive Pilot, the system controls the speed; and the distance from other cars inside the lane the car is in. The system also reacts to unexpected traffic situations and manages them independently. While the Drive Pilot is running, the driver can & ograve; look away from the road and focus on other activities how to manage infotainment functions. In any case, it will have to however, be ready to regain control of the car should the vehicle request it through a series of visual and auditory warnings.
Mercedes uses a combination of LiDAR, radar, front and rear cameras and navigation data to be able to offer this new driving assistance system. Indeed, & egrave; there is a microphone to detect the approach of emergency vehicles and sensors have also been inserted that monitor road conditions to detect any situations of poor grip.
Obviously, this is; just the beginning and over the next few years Drive Pilot will be & agrave; improved to be used not only outside of Germany but also at speed; superior, provided that the regulations allow it. Also, surely with time it will come. also on other Mercedes models. Drive Pilot, for example, should also arrive on the EQS.
