Mercedes-Benz introduces the production-ready version of DRIVE PILOT in the USA - the world's first SAE Level 3 system with internationally valid system approval for highly automated driving. DRIVE PILOT will be orderable through participating Mercedes-Benz dealers in California and Nevada for EQS and S-Class. The first vehicles are expected to make their debut on the freeways of these two states by the end of 2023. The hardware for DRIVE PILOT will be pre-installed in selected EQS and S-Class models from the factory. Customers can activate the system via the Mercedes me connect Store in the USA for $2,500 (additional pricing options will be announced at a later date). Due to the continuous software integration development, Mercedes-Benz offers DRIVE PILOT as a subscription to its customers in the USA. This allows them to flexibly choose the options that best suit their individual needs. For example, if a customer moves to another state or an area without access to Level 3-capable freeways, there is the option not to renew the subscription.
