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.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

No, they do 100km/h. That's the problem.

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org -1 points 3 months ago

Then they're speeding.

Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.

Trucks are limited to 80km/h.

[-] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

In Sweden they may drive 90 on highway-equvialent roads

[-] Don_alForno@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

That is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.

[-] HerrBeter@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Sure. I don't know if I agree with the increase in speed, the fuel consumption goes up with like 1 L/10km

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I see, that's probably a good idea.

[-] superkret@feddit.org -1 points 3 months ago

Yes, they are. And cruising in the right lane sucks a lot less if you can do something else while driving.
