Mercedes S class boosts safety with 26 sensors and smart steering
The new S class uses 26 sensors to detect nearby cars obstacles and pedestrians up to 626 feet ahead and can steer to redirect the car, not just brake. It eases forward in heavy traffic and stops with the flow, watches cross traffic to avoid T bone collisions, and even creates a wifi hotspot for connectivity. The technology signals broader 10 year plans for deeper electronic integration for safety and convenience, with showroom availability soon.
