Mercedes has Level 3 autonomy in certain highway situations, so you are legally allowed to watch a video or read a newspaper. You just need to be able to take over again within 20 seconds or so.

Others are following close up, I think Audi had to postpone Level 3 a bit etc. BMW has something in the pipeline as well.

But these are really more than drive assists. I really find the "Level n" specifications more helpful than "drive assist" vs "autonomy"

None of the other brands oversell what they are offering.
