Mercedes has just increased the speed limit for their level 3 self driving system to 95km/h, which means you can legally read a book or watch a movie while the car drives on the Autobahn.
Any car going 95m/h on a German Autobahn is going to cause a lot of problems. It would be a moving accident waiting to happen.
Nope. Semi trucks drive 90 km/h, you can just stay behind one in the right lane.
No, they do 100km/h. That's the problem.
Then they're speeding.
Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.
On the Autobahn?
Trucks are limited to 80km/h.
In Sweden they may drive 90 on highway-equvialent roads
That is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.
Sure. I don't know if I agree with the increase in speed, the fuel consumption goes up with like 1 L/10km
I see, that's probably a good idea.
Yes, they are. And cruising in the right lane sucks a lot less if you can do something else while driving.
