The reply is not new "news" to Mach E owners. Anna still hasn't told us why only Mercedes has certified level 3 autonoums driving. We know why but will Anna admit such?
Have you seen anyone use mercedes level 3 system? It's nearly impossible to use because it requires driving on the interstate under 45mph with a lead car in only small parts of california and nevada. When you get on the highway at 45mph (which is actually illegal in some parts) the issue is that the faster traffic is moving too fast and you don't have a lead car allowing you to enable it.
Also no construction, no weather, no driving into sunset, etc. Only in perfect broad daylight which limits use going to work in the morning or leaving work at night.
The only way to 100% use the level 3 system would be to have a lead car at 45mph which drives in front of the mercedes the whole time.
Drive pilot is $2500 and I bet almost no one uses it daily because the restrictions are too great to even use it.
It's also worth mentioning that the mercedes system is an end of line product. Tesla's system is developed to expand into a larger domain then a level 3 system. This is why tesla is not wasting money developing a severely limited level 3 solution.
