Very cool video. Said Daimler was using 8 radars and three cameras, so sort of the inverse of the Tesla approach.

The Tesla video is a bit more exciting, because it is using a car that consumers are already driving, whereas the Mercedes has "aftermarket" sensors and a computing platform built in. Mercedes is impressive on the other hand, because that was three years ago.

A DLR/TU Braunschweig cooperation was able to drive through light traffic 6 years ago:

Having a working implementation in a consumer grade car is impressive, but the ability itself is not novel.

Actually, you can buy the car too. I have been driven in a S-class about 3 years ago that had the same capabilties the Tesla here has.
