Self-driving cars are here: Watch the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class drive itself

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E Class can drive itself.

OK, not all of the time and not at every speed, but in stop and go traffic under 18 MPH this car can and will drive itself.

Mercedes-Benz calls the partially self-driving system Distronic Plus and it is available as a $2,800 option on the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

That means that the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E Class will drive itself in stop and go traffic which is perhaps the best time for a car to be autonomous.

In another fun and informative TFLcar Technical demonstration Roman goes for a ride in the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class and demonstrates how the car can drive itself.

This is real and usable new self-driving technology that you can buy today.

Check out the video  below as Roman puts Distronic Plus to the test in stop and go traffic in Portland, Oregon.
