Asking everyone here: Since Merc is certified to be Level 3 by the government, is its self-driving technology more advanced than that of Tesla? And if not, then why isn't Tesla already certified as a least L3 or even L4?

Indeed. They are willing to put $$ where their mouth is. That's why I am interested in what WSB thinks of Merc beating Tesla to the punch.

Fair critique. Here is an article from Mashable: Mercedes-Benz beats Tesla to selling Level 3 autonomous cars in the U.S. https://mashable.com/article/mercedes-benz-level-3-autonomy Just a reminder, I have no axe to grind. I like technology and human psychology, so I am trying to learn why some comments here favor Musk's credibility (which even Musk himself has admitted to being damaged under oath in court) over Reuters. Regarding the level 3, yes, I did read the press release and articles about Mercedes. And I have not driven a level 3 Merc. However, what is critical is that the US government has legally certified the new Mercedes to be level 3. Also, Mercedes has committed iteslf to be held liable in the case of an accident caused by its level 3 techology. Tesla, thus far, has not been certified beyond level 2, and they definitely have not accepted liability in the case of FSD-related accidents. Since Merc is willing to risk its reputation and money on level 3 self-driving tech, I find their level 3 related articles to be a credible source of headlines. I am fine with people being Elon fanbois, I am just curious why this unshakable faith in Musk's mecurial leadership.

Merc self driving is a joke go look at all the stipulations it requires to even function at a minimum

TSLA was a sell the rumour, buy the news event but I didn't believe it. I think everyone knows Musk promises are just wishful thinking (Merc beat them to autonomous driving which they've been peddling for yeas), but we are back to pumping this week so any news is good news. If these earnings came out last week, they'd be drilling.

😂😂😂 as IF US car manufacturers could buy Mb and Bmw, or Vw. Most of you car market is broke.. Tesla had money.. but merc, bmw and vw were never cheap nor broke.. We rule, till now.. You could argue toyota.. ok.. but not the us manufacturer. bought ford shares.. one of my worst invests. most other companies are french now.. If american companies buy something, it turns sour.. Saab.. Opel.. Cars getting worse, till it collapses, or some better company (mostly from europe) buys it out.

Agree, I'm not saying it's perfect in the Merc. But I meant, no one is providing this option. So maybe that gives them revenue? Spoke to few Tesla owners and they are quite happy with the feature. For clarity, I am not a fan of Tesla cars, but no other manufacturer has this tech yet

Merc is quality. Tesla is 💩.

Have you seen fsd 12.xx versions? You don't think that's better than the merc stuff you're crazy.

My last job was in the periphery of the development for merc and have driven it in Europe. It doesn’t need a lead car and it works fantastically well up until 100 kph where our test cars were locked. I’ve also driven the commercial version. If it does in the US, it’s a regulatory requirement by some notified authority.
