As many players have noted, being in good shape is completely different than being in game shape.“Just making sure he’s feeling very confident in his ability to go out and do his job at a high level,” Daniels said. “It’s going to take a little bit of time to get his conditioning up and his feet back unde...

Go ahead.The new system, called Drive Pilot, is designed to operate only when traffic is slower than 40 miles per hour.When engaged, Drive Pilot takes over the gas, brakes and steering, and uses sensors to keep your car flowing with stop-and-start traffic.If, like me, you're thinking this is a recipe for getting into a fender-bender, Mercedes has you covered. The carmaker says that if the system is being used correctly but still gets into an accident, it will accept liability.Drive Pilot has been available in Germany for a year, and Mercedes says that so far no one has come to them with an accident report.I'm guessing German drivers are more attentive than SoCal denizens.CNN test-...
