Mercedes aumenta velocidade máxima do sistema de condução autónoma de Nível 3 para 95 km/h

Mercedes-Benz has announced that it will introduce the next generation of the Drive Pilot system for Level 3 autonomous driving in Germany, which will allow models equipped with this system to reach speeds of up to 95 km/h, compared to the 60 km/h achievable with the current system.

The German brand revealed that the necessary recertification by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority is expected by the end of 2024, after which sales could begin in early 2025.

The Drive Pilot system, which will cost the same as the previous version (starting at €5950, including VAT), will be free for models already equipped with the system. Depending on the model, this update can be performed via a wireless connection (Over-The-Air update) or through a visit to the workshop. There is no need to replace any vehicle components.

The increased speed of the system significantly expands usage scenarios for customers. The Drive Pilot can be used in flowing traffic in the right lane of a motorway or highway while following the vehicle in front. The previously available option to use the system in heavy traffic and congestion on suitable highways remains.

During conditionally automated driving, the task of driving can be transferred to the system, allowing customers to use their time more efficiently.

Remember that this latest addition to the Mercedes-Benz application portfolio is now available to customers of certain models in selected markets, with the new version initially being available in Germany, as in markets like the USA, the system will still be limited to 60 km/h.

The development of the Drive Pilot system at Mercedes-Benz is progressing rapidly, according to the brand, to enable even higher speeds and longer transfer times in the future. In Germany, the maximum allowed speed for conditionally automated driving is currently 130 km/h, and Mercedes-Benz aims to reach this milestone by the end of the decade, following a phased and safety-focused approach.

Remember that Level 3 allows for autonomous driving of the vehicle under certain conditions. When this occurs, the driver can take their eyes off the road.
