Mercedes Gets Approval For Turquoise Automated Driving Lights So Cops Won’t Pull You Over For Watching A Movie

Mercedes-Benz has become the first automaker to receive approval to sell a Level 3 automated driving system in the United States. The system, named Drive Pilot, allows hands-off and eyes-off driving in traffic jam situations up to 40 mph, with the use of turquoise-colored exterior marker lights to indicate active automated driving. This revolutionary advancement aims to improve road safety and public acceptance, although its implementation across various U.S. states could be initially limited due to differing laws and regulations. Nevertheless, the introduction of these safety features sets a promising trend for the future of autonomous driving technology.
