Chicken rib i3, mercedes is out。
The first mercedes to make cars, the first to produce l3, gave up l3 after more than four years..
Besides, at this point in time, other players are following up。
But it's not surprising, after all, that l3 is too chickenshit
Rigorous conditions of use, with the owner of the vehicle under authority and with great difficulty in the user experience。
Even though in 2025, once called the industry “l3 volume year”, the industry believes that the l3 dawn has come to light, now, as the ai paradigm shifts, full autopilot - l2 to l4 - demonstrates the possibility and feasibility of perhaps l3 being overstepped。
I've studied l3, raised my flag, and now i've got momenta, i've got yvette, l2, l4..
L3, drop it. See you later
The initial l3 mercedes. Stop supplying l3
Recently, german media reported that mercedes would no longer provide the l3 system, focusing on the development of l2+ auxiliary driving。
As early as 2021, when china's new powers picked up the high-speed noa mass, mercedes developed a system called drive pilot, offering l3-class conditional automatic driving capability for high-end models such as s and eqs, with a maximum cost of 9,000 euros, which was equivalent to approximately 68,000 yuan renminbi, all of which cost more than tesla fsd。

Of course, the l3 is a conditional auto-drive, natural with activation conditions, and the mercedes conditions are strict:
The section must be a high-speed road, not exceeding 95 km/h per hour, and the road must be in front of a car, weather is good and bad。
Maybe someone will say, "i'm going, isn't this the lcc?"
In fact, after all, the lcc is an auxiliary l2 driver and the basic function, and under no circumstances is the hand to leave the wheel, otherwise the vehicle will warn that the factory is not responsible for the accident。
The mercedes drive pilot, on the other hand, allowed the owner “to take his hands off” when the conditions were met, namely, not to put his hands on the wheel, not to have his eyes on the road, to play with his mobile phone or to watch a movie on a machine. When the owner is required to take over, the vehicle will give warning 10 seconds in advance and the manufacturer may be responsible for the accident。
However, the scene was about to become a thing of the past, and mercedes would issue a medium-term change to level s at the end of january, and new level s would no longer carry drive pilot. Mercedes gave up l3, but not l2 and l4。
L2, the pure cla introduced by mercedes last november carried the city noa system, supplied by momenta. Cooperation has also recently been reached between the two sides on the robotaxi side. It is worth mentioning that the robotaxi operating vehicle provided by benz is also a mercedes s class and was first issued in abu dhabi. A piece of cloth on top of your head. In addition to momenta, mercedes has also worked with weeda at the l4 level。

In a series of recent actions, mercedes has been very determined in his intellectual transformation, and his latest decision has led the industry to revisit l3:
Is that too much
L3 is chicken ribs
L3 has always been a popular subject in the industry, and many practitioners consider l3 to be a chicken as it is too restrictive to help with the experience。
From the progress made, the l3 landing restrictions, although not as stringent as before, are still very stringent and in most cases not applied。
Accessed models are currently used only on a limited number of highways and fast roads, with maximum speeds not exceeding 80 km/h。
In terms of industry head-to-head attitude towards l3, there are players, such as wah, who are very active in landing on l3, and many who are not interested in l3, typically tesla。
Mask used mass-assisted driving routes to advance into robotaxi, l2 and l4 and now move in parallel, with little mention of l3, but in fact the fsd has put l3 capabilities on the ground: when the u. S. Fsd perceives that the surrounding environment is safe, the owner is allowed to “play mobile phones” and discover potentially dangerous road conditions, such as large cars, to alert the owner。

There are, however, two problems. One is the fact that united states regulations are not yet in place, and the owner of the car is violating the rules. The other is that l3 is essentially a question of the division of responsibilities, and at present tesla does not make it clear under what conditions it would be responsible for the accident。
New powers in the country, such as peng, have begun to set up robotaxi, heading straight to l4, l3, which is not a goal or a milestone. The l3 concept is also rarely referred to internally, but rather to free more energy from users, who can do more to advance performance。
The different attitudes of different players towards l3 reflect in fact the differences in technical routes. Won-joon believed that l3 would be useful for the sale of cars, but l2 would need different capabilities to l3 and l4 dimensions, respectively. In its view, good l3 requires many rules, while l4 requires a broad enough model。
Although there is still debate in the industry about l3 landing, the latest trend in the industry is that l3 is used as the earliest mercedes to serve high-end users and is now cut off from l3 to embrace l2 and l4。
This has also put pressure on players who are still insisting on l3 and have not landed on a scale and become a chicken。
