Honda launches world’s first commercial self-driving car.

After regulators have given its stamp of approval for limited sale, the first production of  the new Legend luxury sedan equipped with the so-called “Level 3” semi-autonomous technology, officially launches today.

The new commercial vehicle allows driver-free control of the steering wheel as well as the brake and gas pedals under certain driving conditions, such as traveling at low speed on a congested expressway, the giant automaker said.

The feature is an option on Honda’s new Legend, a large upscale sedan sold in Japan.

Initially, Honda plans to offer only 100 cars with the new technology, which will be available only on leased vehicles priced at 111 million yen ($102,000).
