Lol that's oddly specific.
Test road?
No, Mercedes is the first one to market with a level 3 (fully self driving) system, which is available with their top of the line sedan.
They applied for certification and got it from the state of Nevada. (Edit: And California)
The system itself is limited to 40mph.
If I recall correctly the big difference being that Mercedes is the first manufacturer to take legal liability for an accident while their software is driving (under the specific circumstances), which is pretty big IMO.
Full autonomy would include all roads and speed limits.

Christ alive, your own definition contradicts you. Above a certain speed, it can't control itself. Not independent. Needs a human to drive it. Ergo, not fully autonomous even by your own definition.
Lmao of course you don't engage with people who prove you wrong you absolute fucking child.
Let's leave the systems definitions to the actual engineers, thanks.
I suggest you go educate yourself about the levels of vehicle autonomy before you erroneously label systems you don't understand.
Normal roads, just only in traffic jams.
Same in parts of Germany.
It's actually more specific than that. It also only works if there's a car directly in front of you.
