Listen above as automotive journalist Mark Arsen experiences this new feature first hand \u2013 or should we say, with no hands.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; max-width: 700px;\" title=\"audioBoom player\" src=\"\/\/embeds.audioboom.com\/boos\/4863725-leith-cars-com-episode-6-c-of-zero-to-60-on-the-all-new-e-class-featuring-drive-pilot\/embed\/v4?eid=AQAAAPSom1ftNkoA?rel=0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>And that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg. In episode 6(c), Mark Arsen explores the \u201cDrive Pilot\u201d mode in the E 300. When activated, this technology will maintain a safe following distance between you and the car in front of you. It will brake, accelerate, come to a full stop at a red light, and then continue on once the light turns green again. It\u2019s incredible technology that you\u2019ll want to go experience.<\/p>\n<p>And we hope you do!
