A man plays a game in a Mercedes-Benz car.
Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot is a first-of-its-kind technology that lets drivers not pay attention while their car does all the work.
  • Mercedes-Benz is launching a revolutionary self-driving feature later this year. 
  • I put it to the test in Los Angeles traffic. 
  • Drive Pilot can take over in traffic jams, letting you kick back, watch a movie, or read a book. 

While rolling along in boring, bumper-to-bumper traffic the other day, I kicked back, watched some YouTube, read the news, and played a video game. I didn't even crash.
