The automaker said the Nevada DMV approved its application and is preparing the certificate of compliance that will be issued within the next two weeks. The “SAE Level 3 conditionally [automated driving”](https://www.financedigest.com/cognitive-automation-ca-to-drive-the-urothelial-carcinoma-diagnostics-market.html "Cognitive automation (CA) to drive the Urothelial Carcinoma Diagnostics Market") system allows a driver to legally take their eyes off the wheel but must be available to resume control if needed. On suitable highway sections and where traffic density is high, the system, [called DRIVE](https://www.financedigest.com/india-resists-calls-for-more-air-access-in-drive-to-be-global-aviation-force.html "India resists calls for more air access in drive to be global aviation force") PILOT, can offer to take over driving, Mercedes-Benz says. Mercedes Chief Software Officer Magnus Oestberg told reporters on Thursday Mercedes will have to [seek approval to allow Level 3 driving from regulators](https://www.financedigest.com/exclusive-u-s-regulator-seeks-sale-of-silicon-valley-bank-signature-bank-portfolios-sources.html "Exclusive-U.S. regulator seeks sale of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank portfolios-sources") in each U.S. state. Mercedes has the technology ready to offer limited [automated driving](https://www.financedigest.com/cognitive-automation-ca-to-drive-the-surgical-gowns-market.html "Cognitive automation (CA) to drive the Surgical Gowns Market") in all U.S. states once [regulators approve](https://www.financedigest.com/gecko-governance-launches-compliance-solution-for-ico-market-following-approval-by-isle-of-man-regulator.html "GECKO Governance Launches Compliance Solution For ICO Market Following Approval by Isle of Man Regulator"), he said.

The Nevada DMV noted it does not issue any permit or license based on an autonomous vehicle’s level of automation and allows all automation [levels to operate](https://www.financedigest.com/glastons-interim-report-1-january-31-march-2018-orders-received-grew-23-comparable-operating-profit-at-previous-years-level.html "Glaston’s Interim Report 1 January – 31 March 2018: Orders received grew 23%, comparable operating profit at previous year’s level") on public streets.

The DRIVE PILOT system “gives customers back [time so they can focus](https://www.financedigest.com/why-manufacturers-mustnt-lose-their-green-focus-in-troubled-times.html "WHY MANUFACTURERS MUSTN’T LOSE THEIR GREEN FOCUS IN TROUBLED TIMES") on certain secondary activities such as communicating with colleagues via In-Car Office, browsing the web or relaxing while watching a movie,” the automaker added. Other systems currently on public [roads like Tesla’s Autopilot or General Motors’](https://www.financedigest.com/the-road-to-digital-disruption-in-motor-insurance.html "The road to digital disruption in Motor Insurance") Super Cruise are classified SAE Level 2, which handle some driving tasks but require drivers to pay attention at all times.
