Mercedes-Benz BEATS Tesla for California's approval of automated driving tech
Reuters

www.reuters.com
June 8 (Reuters) - The California Department of Motor Vehicles on Thursday approved Mercedes-Benz's (MBGn.DE) automated driving system on designated highways under certain conditions without the active control of a driver.
California is one of Tesla's (TSLA.O) largest markets, accounting for 16% of the carmaker's global deliveries last year, according to Reuters calculations.
But the German carmaker beat Tesla to become the first carmaker to receive authorization to sell or lease cars with an automated driving system to the public in California.
The approval was granted to Level 3 Mercedes-Benz 'DRIVE PILOT' system that allows a driver to legally take their eyes off the wheel but must be available to resume control in need.
The 'DRIVE PILOT' system can only operate on highways during daylight at speeds not exceeding 40 miles per hour, the DMV said.
Mercedes-Benz said in a statement it will make the automated driving system available in the U.S. market as an option for its model year 2024 S-Class and EQS Sedan vehicles.
The first deliveries for the respective S-Class and EQS Sedan models are expected later this year.
Other systems currently on public roads such as Tesla's Autopilot or General Motors' (GM.N) Super Cruise are classified SAE Level 2, which handle some driving tasks but require drivers to pay attention at all times.
Tesla calls its level 2 driving assistant system as "Full Self-Driving" and says a driver must constantly supervise the feature and intervene as needed to maintain a safe operation.
The permit grants Mercedes-Benz permission to offer its 'DRIVE PILOT' system on California highways in the Bay Area, Central Valley, Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Diego and on interstate highway connecting Southern California to Nevada.
Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz also received an approval to deploy advanced automated driving systems on Nevada's roads."

Given no one else is reporting this dumb stuff, obvious fake news, so why echo it? I think only BMW and Toyota leaderships are still dumb enough to pursue H2 for passenger cars. Mercedes came to their senses long ago - https://electrek.co/2020/04/22/daimler-ends-hydrogen-car-development-because-its-too-costly/#:~:text=In the end, the company,only current fuel-cell model.

I know it's just fashion media marketing bollocks talk, but that level of bollocks talk about actual scientific kinda things should be criminalised.

Tesla reaches for Mercedes. Just speculation or is there something to it?
Stock market speculators are always looking for worthwhile investments. Knowing before it happens promises profit and drives prices. Sometimes it comes down to insider information and the right nose. Where can you get in and skim fat? In its current newsletter to its subscribers, the well-known investor information magazine "Der Aktionär" considers it a possible scenario that Tesla could take over Mercedes-Benz.
"Trillion deal with an aha effect: Why Tesla is taking over Mercedes-Benz" is the title of the investor tip in the headline, which dispenses with the subjunctive and question marks. The shareholder also provides the explanation for the promising deal. We quote:"Favorable valuation, technological progress, short process: "The US electric car manufacturer Tesla takes over the Stuttgart car giant Mercedes-Benz for 120 billion euros, paying the equivalent of 111 euros per share certificate – offering a premium of 50 percent." One could be something like this Headline in brief: Biggest beneficiary: Tesla itself. Elon Musk makes the deal even richer, because the market value of Tesla clearly exceeds the threshold of one trillion euros as a result.For "Der Aktionär" it is clear: Because of its comparatively modest market capitalization, Mercedes-Benz is a takeover candidate - by the way, not only for Elon Musk, although the currently richest man in the world - his private fortune was recently estimated by market data assessor Statista at US 236.9 billion -dollar valued - would benefit the most from this deal.
All just hot air and a lot of wind about nothing?
Firing the imagination of investors is of course part of the business model of the stock market information magazine "Der Aktionär". Anyone who juggles their money on the stock exchange is very receptive to the idea of how-do-I-get-rich-quickly. And so imagination is part of the Business driven by greed for money.
But the fact is: Tesla is performing splendidly on the stock exchange. The Mercedes-Benz Group does not do this nearly as well. The Stuttgart group is valued comparatively cheaply. As of June 22, 2023, the market value of Tesla is 829.15 billion US dollars and that of Mercedes-Benz is only 107.34 billion US dollars. Wait, the thought that Tesla might bag Mercedes is just a figment of the imagination, pure speculation and the thinking of people with a gamer mentality? That's true, but these three things often determine the actions of the participants on the stock exchange. And if anyone has visionary fantasies, a player mentality, a desire to make money and is not afraid to take risks, then it is Tesla owner Elon Musk himself
In the rear-view mirror: The star and Tesla
Perhaps one or the other can remember that the then Daimler Group was once a shareholder of Tesla. In 2009, the Stuttgart-based company invested a two-digit million sum in Tesla, which at that time had little more than start-up status, and received 4 percent of the company shares in return. In 2014, all shares were sold completely and the sale generated 780 million US dollars. At that point, the investment seemed to have paid off extremely well. From today's perspective, the amount redeemed was just peanuts. A 4 percent stake in Tesla would currently be worth $33.16 billion. ps! It is well known that one is always smarter afterwards.

The only gain that Tesla would obtain from acquiring Mercedes is regulatory sh*tburgers, cultural integration issues and years of frustrations. It's cheaper and quicker to build more factories than to integrate or unwind legacy ones with unionised workers.

Chrysler proved the culture of Mercedes Benz, and fundamental differences in approach to engineering, marketing etc, make brands like Mercedes completely incompatible with American automotive players.
Tesla's market capitalisation is highly unusual and I suspect there may be intervention by the German Government to block any foreign takeover of Mercedes.
What should happen is greater cooperation between BMW and Mercedes along with the acquisition of Aston Martin by Mercedes.

From 50M they took out 780M, it was the most profitable investment in the history of Mercedes and it boosted confidence for other investors to get into Tesla and there it began to skyrocket, unfortunately they did not have the Monday newspaper to know that they would have 33bn but nobody does.
Tesla buying Mercedes shouldn't be more than noise I guess
Mercedes earns much more than Tesla and objectively is also worth much more
