    What’s steer control and why does it need it if it’s supposed to keep lines? I’m genuinely confused here. You’re saying the Mercedes system shouldn’t be rated because they have another Mercedes system? Even though they’re in a car rated as being SAE level 3?

      You got me here, wasn’t even aware that the Mercedes system is officially a level 2 with Steer Control that is supposed to do much better than seen in the video. I still think they should have compared with the more basic Autopilot, though, as this is what consumer report evaluated and the safety problems of Tesla’s lack of driver monitoring are there.

      I edit my first comment according to what I learned through the discussion :)

        Also my bad, just corrected myself. The Mercedes is supposed to be level 3 whereas the Tesla is supposed to be level 2.

          No I think the level 3 is only available in selected countries, roads and speeds. It’s called Drive Pilot and it’s not the one they are using in the video.

            Aha, that would make sense. Though that’s as bad as Tesla being allowed to call theirs Full Self Driving
