What does level 3 autonomous driving mean for Mercedes-Benz?

Will new Mercedes-Benz models be able to drive autonomously in the U.S.?

It remains to be seen whether Mercedes-Benz will transition this technology over to the U.S. It’s possible we see some of these innovations immediately, but regulations and liability rules and laws are different in every country. We do know that it will be enabled and available in Germany, but we will have to wait to learn more.
