It’s basically just useful for traffic jams…which isn’t bad idea. Most cars with smart cruise control could easily do something like this. I guess Mercedes is just adding a layer of security (driver’s face must show) and are then enabling it?

It's not a bad idea. I just think Mercedes has been very clever at ginning up a "Level 3" "self-driving" feature out of commodity lane keeping systems, restricted use cases, and a cheap legal liability waiver that will almost never come into play.
