1. Starting at $52,150, the 2017 Mercedes E-Class Sedan is one of the best options if you're looking for a tech savvy car. But first, some details on its specs: the car comes with a 2.0-liter, four cylinder gas engine with 241 hp. It can accelerate to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds and comes standard with nine-speed automatic transmission.
The new E-Class comes with a function called Drive Pilot that allows it to drive itself at speeds up to 130 mph. It can also steer itself while driving at speeds up to 81 mph, even when lane markings aren't completely visible, thanks to a function called Steering Pilot.
Similar to Tesla's Summon feature, owners can use the car’s smartphone app to have the car park itself or pull up for you to get in. The car also comes with a radar system that constantly tracks blind spots, and a warning signal will display in the side mirror if there's a vehicle in your blind spot.

2. We would be remiss not to include the Tesla Model S on this list. The cars are currently being built with new self-driving hardware that improves Autopilot's capabilities, dubbed Enhanced Autopilot. Tesla said the hardware will also allow the cars to be self-driving later on, pending regulatory approval.
The Model S can also detect a parallel parking spot and park itself as part of its Autopilot system.
Enhanced Autopilot allows the car to match speed to traffic conditions, automatically change lanes without driver input, merge on and off highways, and park itself. It can also maneuver around objects in a more complex environment than it could before to find you when you summon it.
Tesla is rolling out Enhanced Autopilot's features throughout 2017. You can get a better breakdown of the rollout strategy here.
When the fully self-driving feature is activated, pending further software validation and regulatory approval, the car will be able to navigate urban and rural streets even without lane markings and manage intersections.
