Mercedes Introduces Turquoise Lights for Autonomous Driving
Mercedes-Benz has received approval to add turquoise blue lights to its autonomous vehicles in California and Nevada, indicating when the car is driving itself. The Drive Pilot system allows drivers to take their eyes off the road and engage in other activities until the system alerts them to take over. The specific blue shade is recommended by the Society of Automotive Engineers to signify autonomous vehicle operation. The lights aim to alert passing drivers and police that the vehicle is under fully automated control, ensuring safety and preventing misunderstandings. The technology will be available on select Mercedes models in California and Nevada starting in early 2024.
