How Mercedes beat Tesla to become 1st to offer level 3 autonomous personal car
Briefly

Mercedes is the first automaker in the U.S. to certify and commercialize a Level 3 autonomous driving system through its Drive Pilot. This system has received approval in Nevada and California, making it legally available to consumers in those states. While Tesla is commonly associated with self-driving technology, it does not yet offer a Level 3 system. The Society of Automotive Engineers categorizes automation levels, with Level 3 denoting vehicles capable of fully autonomous driving under specific conditions.
When it comes to public perception, when you think of self-driving in personal cars, you think Tesla. It's like thinking of Kleenex when you think about tissues.
Mercedes became the first automaker approved to sell a level 3 autonomous system in the U.S. via its Drive Pilot, securing approval in Nevada and California.
