2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class: Ambience
If the driver doesn't react, the car can apply the brakes, and come to a full stop by itself is there's no possible alternative (in this case, being boxed in by surrounding vehicles).
Cars communicate more and more between themselves. The S-Class is a chatterbox.
If the driver doesn't react, the car can apply the brakes, and come to a full stop by itself is there's no possible alternative (in this case, being boxed in by surrounding vehicles).
The car will hit the brakes by itself. And after participating in this activity, I can attest that even at 100 km/h, the car can stop on a dime!
In this simulation, the S-Class slams on the brakes to avoid hitting the car. If the latter was slightly more to the left or to the right, the S-Class likely could've steered around it, without any driver intervention.
Oh, a pedestrian! And the driver doesn't react...
Step one: the car alerts the driver with a visual and an audible warning.
If there is enough space, the car will steer around the pedestrian. While the driver's hand seems to be manipulating the wheel, it's not the case. Since she (voluntarily) didn't react in time, the car decided to avoid the pedestrian by itself.
The Night Vision camera allows us to see, directly on the instrument panel, what's happening in ahead. Very handy, at night of course.
The two 12.3-inch screens are clear. Unfortunately, the menus are often complicated to navigate through.
the safety systems can be deactivated as needed. However, why we would we do that? If there's a problem, such as snow buildup on the sensors, they'll deactivate themselves automatically and warn the driver.
And amongst the plethora of avant-garde technologies, we find an old-school analog clock. It looks very elegant, though!
