Autonomous Driving Demo: Mercedes S-Class in California

As the inventor of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz natural assumes a pioneering role where autonomous driving is concerned. The declared aim is to develop the automobile further, from a self-moving ("automobile") vehicle to an independent ("autonomous") vehicle. In its research and development activities, Mercedes-Benz goes well beyond purely technical realisation of automated driving and anticipates various scenarios. The focus here is always on people: The objective is to be able to present technically feasible and socially beneficial answers to questions concerning the mobility of the future, in line with our comprehensive approach and as part of the company's culture of innovation. This revolution in mobility requires evolutionary stages. This means that in the years to come, new and improved assistance systems will continue to prepare the predefined way towards autonomous driving.

Semi-autonomous driving is already a fact on public roads today – for example with the Mercedes-Benz models in the S-, E-, C- and CLS-Class. One such feature is Stop-and-Go Assist, which automatically follows tailback traffic and provides steering assistance. When parking with the aid of Active Park Assist, the technology chooses a suitable parking space and takes over the steering. The driver only needs to accelerate and brake. Mercedes-Benz is continuing its "Intelligent Drive" strategy with numerous assistance systems and substantially expanded functions with the aim of systematically enhancing comfort and safety.
