2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class to Showcase Incredible New Technologies - Motor Trend
The sedan, slated to debut at the 2016 Detroit auto show, comes with more sensors, cameras, and radar units that will enable drivers to park their car without being in it, talk to other cars, see the night as if it were day, read traffic signs,... The car won't be completely autonomous, meaning a person is going to have to sit in the driver's seat, but this car demonstrates how much safer the world could become. A Mercedes with adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist will adjust a car's speed, keeping the vehicle between the lines as it flies down the highway. The car can automatically adjust to the highway's speed limit using either its cameras to read road signs or the navigation system to mark the speed limit based on the vehicle's location. Additionally, Mercedes’ Active Brake Assist uses the car's radar system to detect other vehicles and judge whether they are slowing down or speeding up and then warn the driver of a pending collision or initiate the brakes. The car's processor, which is continuously evaluating situations, can determine if the driver needs to take evasive maneuvers and, if an accident is imminent, prepare the driver for impact.
