I can be almost sure it won't cut me off when the blue light is on.

To stay consistent with expected Mercedes road-behavior care, the self driving mode is programmed to change lanes without signaling.

Sorry, I think you've mistaken this with BMW.

Mercedes don't let you merge, and don't ever look at you.

BMW drive like they are unaware of any other cars on the road.

Subtle but different

Well since you spelled tomato two different ways, You imply that you realize Mercedes and BMW are indeed two different things. I drive a Mercedes and I use my turn signals.

Their drivers are usually the same in my country.
