Ellen and I react to a couple Level 3 driving videos of Mercedes Drive Pilot and compare it with our experiences with Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD systems. Ellie surprises me with a use case I didn’t consider and we talk regulations, safety, and how advanced this system is compared to the rest of the market.
To see the full videos we react to check out Motoman TV here:
