Mercedes-Benz driving assistance and safety systems
TecDay Insight Safety: Mercedes-Benz driving assistance systems enhance both comfort and safety. The demonstration simulates typical situations that may happen in real traffic. The assistance systems have a high potential to mitigate or even prevent accidents in those scenarios. Furthermore, the advantages of enhanced parking features were explained.
How the brand-defining role of the Mercedes-Benz grille has changed over time1900 was a breakthrough year in the early days of the automobile. It marked the first time Wilhelm Maybach fitted his invention, the honeycomb radiator, to the Mercedes 35 PS. The patented design solved the problem of cooling the internal combustion engine once and for all, and enabled the production of vehicles that were not only more powerful but also more reliable. Because the radiator stood front and centre on the vehicle, it had an immediate impact on brand image. A new era had begun. Competitors rushed to imitate – a front end with an upright radiator was standard practice around the world until well into the 1930s. Now, more than 120 years later, here we are again. The battery-electric Mercedes-EQ vehicles are bringing a new, distinctive face to the brand with the three-pointed star – with their Black Panel grille melding seamlessly with the headlamps while doubling up as technology hub.
The ESF 2019 shows how the scenes of accidents or breakdowns could be secured more safely with innovations such as a small robot that automatically emerges from the vehicle's rear following an incident, and positions itself at the roadside as a warning triangle. Other ideas are a warning triangle that folds out of the vehicle roof at the same time, and the rear window as a communication surface.
Once again, Mercedes-Benz is setting the benchmark for active safety. Have a look at this great driving experience of Mercedes-Benz in Norway.
