You aren't going to kill people while going under 40mph on a highway (cars only, no pedestrians) anyway. Under 40mph is like stop and go traffic.

This is a marketing stunt. They've taken a well-solved problem (stop and go) and taken responsibility for it, and getting headlines by screaming something about J3016 level 3.

A highway is any public road per legal definition. https://law.justia.com/codes/california/2022/code-veh/divisi...

40mph is more than enough to kill someone.

Mercedes' system only works on specific listed limited-access highways, not all public roads.
