Because it is causing a lot of stuck traffic issues, apparently.
But if every drive needs remote assistance ... it is simply not at the intervention rate needed for driverless operation.

So far the city's problems have not extended to state managed roads, so the state regulators hardly care, given it does not affect state agencies. Plus the way the intervention reporting is set up, as above, most of them don't get reported to the state. If these cars start clogging up highways then maybe the state might start caring.
Tesla still can't drive on a parking lot, no? Merc is honest with its customers, not removing radars/rain sensors/ultrasonics in exchange for miracles coming through software updates, like, very-very soon.
May be < 40 mph on freeways is great for you - but not for most of us. I prefer to use FSD for my 99.99% of the driving, rather than 0.01%.
Yeah, I heard..

I am not, but I do have a stake in this, namely Tesla cars are demonstrably dangerous in FSD mode not just to their owners (which I would be OK with, everybody should be free to take risks) but to other motorists as well, including me.
It says no actually. It only works on geofenced limited access roads and interstates, not inside the city.
Wrong. The 40mph being “regulatory” is only for EU.
That's the older UN regulation. It's now expanded to 80 mph (130 km/h).
True, but Tesla does not pay for any damages at any speed, high or low, on highways or summoning garage/parking lot, while Mercedes does while under its L3 parameters (pre-mapped highways, 40 MPH...)
Point is Merc is doing it responsibly. They don't charge people for what doesn't exist, and they restrict the car to 40mph because, I guess, this is what they are comfortable with at the moment. They have reputation to uphold. When they are sure they can push it to 60, 80, etc, they will do that.
This stupid level 3 and 5 minute tests have been discussed to death. At least a few hundred posts on it. Why don't you search?
