@@locdogJ No other OEM want's that, why would they? Mercedes can do this because there will be tiny amount of people with this joke system, tiny amount who can actually utilize it, and extremely tiny amount who gets into accidents because of all those restrictions, so they can afford few lawsuits and its generally even cheaper to pay out few millions for car accidents than to pay for advertisement, because they are now getting one for free.

Basic lidar system, not even close to Tesla. Joke comparison

[@keithkamps77]

They can kiss my butt, people should be in full control at all times, this shouldn't be allowed PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I you're too lazy to actively drive you should be taking a car service.

[@Zripas]

people said similar thing about cars replacing horses, just look where we are now.

[@bobmister250]

"people should be in full control at all times" Robots don't get drunk, text or fall asleep.

[@charliesays1961]

that's horrible xD my $35k Model 3 can drive anywhere any conditions lol what a joke.

[@penguin422613]

Trying to charge you extra for something minor honestly something that the cruise control can sort of do in a sense It's just pointless Man people really try to monetize everything you do when are they going to start charging us for breathing oh wait they do It's called taxes it'll never be enough for them lol

Chinese auto pilot cars are much better even than Tesla.

[@kafiluz4317]

nope and I bet the chinese companies are still hardcoding because they do not have enough vehicles with the technology out there to train a neural network.

How bout...Just Driving the car Yourself ?

[@Zripas]

Do you always enjoy driving your car? In traffic jams? Or doing 5 hour trip and trying to keep your attention to the road all the time? Autonomous driving is really good solution when you want to relax and do something else than just watching the road.

[@stuckontube]

@Zripas Yes I do "enjoy driving my car". Also, I "relax" on my couch, in my tub or in my bed. My life is at stake regardless of any current technology, so I dedicate my attention to what's in front and around my vehicle at all times. I respect your opinion, but that's why we're all made differently...

[@Zripas]

@@stuckontube Cool, so you will one of those people who said same thing about horses... You can still ride one if you want, but not on the road... While with this system, its OPTIONAL, atleast now. You can use it or not, its up to you to turn it on. Forced autonomous driving are not coming for quite some time, so be calm, you can drive your car manually until you die. While some of us can enjoy both options.

[@stuckontube]

@Zripas Troll away from me...hands free.

[@Zripas]

@@stuckontube Troll away? Did you got offended by facts here or something? Weird snowflakes we have these days...

[@chirrin1989]

who is asking for this garbage. the whole point of driving is to feel alive and well not be lazy

[@rgb3x3]

Not be lazy? Walking is not being lazy, taking a bus or train is not being lazy, driving is the ultimate lazy travel option.

[@fuckjoebiden]

no the whole point of driving for most people (especially in shitty crowded cities) is to get from point A to point B

[@Zripas]

@chirrin1989 I guess in your world not being lazy is being stuck in traffic jam... Get a bicycle, that one will give you 100x more freedom you so desperately want...

[@chirrin1989]

@@Zripas who is to say, you would not get stuck in traffic in auto pilot mode, and I do have a bike. I also run every day I like being out and about not lazy.

[@Zripas]

@@chirrin1989 I have no idea what you tried to say by "you would not get stuck in traffic in auto pilot mode" like, what the what now? If your day shift ends at the time when everyones else does, you will most likely get into traffic jam, that snail pace moving traffic jam. So what gives you more freedom here, sticking you behind the wheel for that next 30-60 minutes doing basically nothing while still keeping you alert all the time and looked at the car in front or giving you freedom to do anything else you want while car performs most mundane tasks?

[@RealAndreGlegg]

Lmfao this is garbage

[@paulmeynell8866]
