"Mercedes-Benz Vans presents its Vision URBANETIC, a revolutionary mobility concept that goes way beyond existing ideas on autonomous vehicles. Vision URBANETIC eliminates the separation between people moving and goods transport. It enables on-demand, sustainable and efficient movement of people and goods – and applies an innovative approach to fulfil the needs of cities, businesses from diverse sectors as well as city dwellers and travellers. The concept reduces traffic flows, relieves inner-city infrastructures and contributes to an improved quality of urban life. As part of a holistic system solution, Vision URBANETIC addresses future urban challenges and offers innovative solutions. The visionary concept is based on a self-driving, electrically powered chassis that can take different switchable bodies for people moving or goods transport. As a ride-sharing vehicle, Vision URBANETIC can accommodate up to twelve passengers, while the cargo module can carry up to ten EPAL pallets. A load space 3.70 metres long fits into a total vehicle length of 5.14 metres. Plus, the concept incorporates an IT infrastructure that analyses in real time the supply and demand within a defined area. The result is a self-driving fleet, with routes planned flexibly and efficiently on the basis of current transportation needs. All of this makes Vision URBANETIC a groundbreaking concept for future urban mobility. Thanks to full networking, the evaluation of local information – such as concerts and events – and intelligent control, the system not only analyses current needs, it can also learn from them. It is thus able to anticipate and react to future needs. This can optimise processes and help shorten waiting and delivery times and avoid traffic jams. For instance, the overall system can use the data captured by the vehicle control centre – which collates and analyses needs – to identify a crowd of people gathering in a certain area. It can send vehicles there to quickly and efficiently satisfy the increased demand. The system can thus react flexibly and is not based on rigid routes or fixed timetables."
Externally, the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class was only slightly changed. However, a lot has happened under the tin. A good 50 percent of the vehicle has been renewed or revised. The result are completely new four-cylinder engines and assistance systems on the level of the S-Class. But there is more to discover. My report of the test drive in the C220 d T-model and the AMG C 43 Coupé shows what the new C-Class offers in detail. Source: http://quickcarreview.com
The new Mercedes-Benz A-Class has already convinced us at its world premiere. With features that are usually reserved for the S-Class and a completely new design, it offers everything to score in the compact market. On top it is the first Mercedes to have the new MBUX infotainment system on board. During my test drive with the A 180 d in Croatia, I was able to convince myself what the new Mercedes A-Class offers and whether the technology on board convinced. Source: http://quickcarreview.com
The Mercedes GLC is a premium SUV aimed at stealing sales from the popular Audi Q5 and BMW X3, and also the more left-field Lexus NX and stylish Range Rover Evoque.

It's not every day you get the chance to get behind 007's car. Yes, this is James Bond's latest set of wheels, the Aston Martin DB10 and it's certainly a looker!
