Mercedes-Benz has just received approval to add a fourth color: turquoise blue lights that indicate when a Mercedes car is driving itself. Those are the only states where Mercedes’ “conditionally autonomous” Drive Pilot technology is legal. Mercedes Drive Pilot can be used in traffic jams on selected major highways when vehicles are traveling at less than 40 miles an hour. The light blue color was selected because it’s eye-catching and it won’t be confused with anything else. The Mercedes Drive Pilot system will be available on Mercedes S-class and EQS models in Nevada and California starting in early 2024.
