  Correct, it only works when certain conditions are met.

  Drivers can activate Mercedes’s technology, called Drive Pilot, when certain conditions are met, including in heavy traffic jams, during the daytime, on spec ific California and Nevada freeways, and when the car is traveling less than 40 mph. Drivers can focus on other activities until the vehicle alerts them to resume control. The technology does not work on roads that haven’t been pre-approved by Mercedes, including on freeways in other states.

  in any weather condition

  LOL. Weather is probably the smallest of the problems they have solved.

  German car makers have a habit of testing all their models in all weather conditions, routinely, around the globe.
