minus-squaresuperkretlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoMercedes 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.
minus-squareTreczoks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·2 months agoAny 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.
minus-squaresuperkretlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-22 months agoNope. Semi trucks drive 90 km/h, you can just stay behind one in the right lane.
minus-squareTreczoks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoNo, they do 100km/h. That’s the problem.
minus-squareDon_alFornolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·2 months agoThen they’re speeding. Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.

minus-squareDon_alFornolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoThat is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.
minus-squareHerrBeter@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoSure. I don’t know if I agree with the increase in speed, the fuel consumption goes up with like 1 L/10km
minus-squarefeedum_sneedson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoI see, that’s probably a good idea.
minus-squaresuperkretlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·2 months agoYes, they are. And cruising in the right lane sucks a lot less if you can do something else while driving.
