More precisely, you can record yourself stuck in a traffic jam.
Drivers can activate Mercedes’s technology, called Drive Pilot, when certain conditions are met, including in heavy traffic jams, during the daytime, on specific California and Nevada freeways, and when the car is traveling less than 40 mph.
When the public started not owning things and companies saw that it enhanced gross sales they doubled down. IMO the only two ways we’ll see this change is when folks vote with their wallets, or more likely, govt does its job.
That’s right folks! For a mere $6.85 a day, you too can record yourself not driving!

Does one or all of these have to be true?
I guess freeway is a hard limit. Other streets are more complex because of people and whatnot. GPS makes it easy to check.
Speed should also be a hard limit because a safe stop is much easier at slow speeds. More time to react and less pressure on sensor capabilities.
Traffic jam is probably not necessary but why would you drive that slowly on a freeway otherwise?
Not sure about daytime. It could be that it is just that the video camera doesn’t work well enough such that the system deactivates a lot.
So it’s basically adaptive cruise control for slow traffic, that only works on a few roads, and requires a subscription. How about “fuck off” instead?
It’s just a extended recording of me screaming " WHAT THAT FUCKS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!" In different ways.
