<p class="MsoNormal">"Autobahn-similar" probably refers to the relative lack of junctions or pedestrians, and the presence of a central barrier - the car just has to drive slower than other road users, like a certain supermarket's lorries in the UK.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I read in my local newspaper this morning that Mercedes-Benz have got the worldwide first "type
<br>
certificate" for self-driving systems. It is called a "Drive Pilot"; it follows UN rule 157, and it
<br>
allows hands-free driving at a maximum of 69kph along "autobahn-similar roads". The article says
<br>
this covers quite a few Autobahnen, but I can't see how this can be -- the only 60kph limits on
<br>
Autobahnen are in narrow lanes past road works.<br>
<br>
"Type certificate" means that the German road vehicle authority has issued a permit for its use on
<br>
German roads. It will be in the S-class Merc and the electric Pendant EQS.<br>
