Mercedes is now the first automaker to sell a car with advanced autonomous features in the United States, meaning the vehicle doesn’t technically require drivers to pay close attention to the road.
As of April 11, Mercedes had 65 vehicles that support its Drive Pilot autonomous software for sale in California, one of which has already been sold, Fortune reports. Mercedes vehicles equipped with Drive Pilot are also for sale in Nevada.
Mercedes currently has permission to sell and lease cars with “Level 3” autonomous driving in Nevada and California. In September, it announced plans to start sales in late 2023. Fortune says those cars hit dealerships in December; it submitted an open records request to the California DMV to find out just how many. Mercedes hasn’t confirmed any numbers.
