The Society of Automotive Engineers classifies Level-3 autonomy, commonly referred to as conditional automation, as the third level of driving automation (SAE). The driver can take their hands off the wheel and their feet off the pedals under specific conditions, enabling the car to drive itself, but they must always be on guard and ready to take over at any moment.There has been fierce competition among many significant auto manufacturing companies to become the first Level-3 autonomous car manufacturer. Tesla was the front-runner with their fully autonomous feature, but they were unable to obtain the required certifications in time.

level-3 autonomy, and it’s not yet apparent what the maker of the car and the driver’s legal obligations would be in the event of an accident. As a result, this project is currently only approved in the US state of Nevada.Since its inception, Mercedes-Benz has continuously been guided by an unshakable dedication to innovation. Being the first vehicle business to be authorized for Level 3 conditionally automated driving in the US market is an incredible accomplishment that everyone should be proud of According to a press release from Mercedes-Benz USA’s CEO and Head of Marketing & Sales North America, Dimitris Psillakis.
