Mercedes-Benz will debut its Level 3 Drive Pilot on the EQS towards the end of 2023, and expand it to the S-Class by early 2024.

The system will get regularly updated thanks to back-end data centers. However, the Drive Pilot will only support a maximum speed of 40 miles per hour, which might be a dealbreaker for many customers, and possibly not worth the extra money.
