The MB FSD Killer (Patreon)

FAZ Took Mercedes’s “DrivePilot” for a Spin - DrivePilot. Sounds fancy, right? Well…

• First off, this system is a total homebody — it only works on pre-mapped German autobahns and won’t go faster than 95 km/h 59mph - on an autobahn you will be shouted off the road at that speed. Anything beyond that, and you’re back in charge.

• Night drive? Rain? Fog? Forget it. DrivePilot gets stage fright when the weather isn’t perfect — the Lidar and sensors basically throw in the towel.

• Hit a construction zone? The car hands the wheel right back to you like, “Good luck, buddy.”

• Also, don’t expect any cool overtaking maneuvers. The system stays glued to the right lane, only works when following another vehicle (ideally a truck or bus), and refuses to pass.
