I'm guessing Mercedes' push in this field is mostly because of their truck segment. The added BOM increase and potential fat margins on real FSD would be an easy sell in the truck segment.

Now I'm a bit puzzled: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/10/daimler-truck-unit-spinoff-s... But I guess tech was still shared during development.

Very likely. 60km/h is the maximum speed a truck above 7.5t is allowed drive on German roads that aren't highways.
