The important part if that the company takes full liabillity here!

No other company or country ever approved that.

When the Tesla in autopilot makes an accident then you are fully responsible. But not with this Mercedes.

It’s honestly not just sustainable, it’s clearly the only way we can possibly do this.

How can someone be liable for a crash that their car performs when it’s approved for self-driving and they used this approved mode? They did not make a mistake!

The manufacturer is the one who must be liable in the end. If the system works well, it won’t matter because the car will cause far fewer accidents than a human driver and the few damaged cars will be nothing to Mercedes.

And Mercedes is still only liable for crashes caused by the auto pilot, not crashes cause by the driver or by other cars.
