Tesla allegedly has taken and approach of disengaging their system right before an accident so they can blame human error. There is now a d ongoing investigation. But anyway...
BMW has filed for L3 approval in the US.

I guess they will handle it like Mercedes is doing it, take the liability while the system is active. Mercedes beat BMW for this one as I mentioned in another post:
https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?t=1920742. And Teslas System is L2 anyway, so not comparable at all (and imo worse than Mercedes'/Audis/BMWs current offering of driver assistance systems, the only difference is its unlocked in all situations which makes it even worse).
As a warning for people hoping to have an almost level 4 experience with no interaction needed on the highway, I don't think that will happen. Mercedes' solution only works in traffic jams up to 40mph and from what I've heard BMW is aiming for 50mph.
