They are trying to make something that works reliably in some conditions. That is harder and better than what Tesla does. All this talk about geofences isn't about whether the car can figure out how to drive anywhere but whether the car can drive reliably somewhere, which is the hard problem which Tesla is avoiding.

IMO adding very unreliable features like FSD should not even be legal. The car should be very good at what it tries to do.

The question I asked was how the approach Mercedes is taking actually works. Does it use LiDAR? Does it rely on pre-programmed maps? I'm asking for technical details, not normative statements.
