Mercedes-Benz will launch an SAE Level 3 semi-autonomous system on the S-Class by 2020.

Daimler is currently developing SAE Level 4 and Level 5 self-driving technology, which will be able to handle all aspects of the driving task without the need for human intervention. Before that, though, the automaker will roll out a Level 3 system that will be able to drive itself in nearly all scenarios with the expectation that the human driver will take over when needed. The Level 3 system should be presented before the end of the decade, with a production rollout expected in 2020.
