Mercedes-Benz began selling EQS and S-Class sedans in the United States with Drive Pilot support. This is the most advanced autopilot in the world.
Drive Pilot belongs to the 3rd colleague of the autopilot. He can drive the car himself and brake in an emergency. The driver is not required to watch the road and can go about his business, unlike Tesla’s autopilot.
Vehicles with Drive Pilot can only be purchased in the regions and Nevada. You can use Autopilot in traffic jams on certain highways, in clear conditions and at speeds less than 65 km/h. The function does not work on the highway, which has not been pre-approved by Mercedes-Benz.
The driver cannot keep an eye on the road while Drive Pilot is operating. But he was forbidden to sleep or move to another place. Mercedes-Benz EQS and S-Class are equipped with a switch on the dashboard that monitors the person during the trip.
When you turn on Drive Pilot, the interior lighting will change to turquoise. Turquoise will also appear in the headlights, lanterns and mirrors, so that other drivers are equally aware that a car is driving nearby on autopilot.
Drive Pilot is not available on all trim levels. To use it, you will need special sensors in the front and a camera on the rear window. Autopilot by subscription for $2,500 (~233 thousand rubles) per year. [Techspot]
