The car is growing beyond its role as a mere means of transport and will ultimately become a mobile living space." The Mercedes F 015 made its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, California – starting the New Year with a bold look into the future of transport, of autonomous driving and the possibilities it opens up in packaging, in design, in integration and in how we use cars in our lives Mercedes F 015 Four individual lounge chairs are accessed via twin, rear-hinged doors that open to 90 degrees – the seats swivelling by 30 degrees to allow easy ingress and egress Mercedes F 015 Interior is like no other – a mobile living space crafted out of open grain walnut, glass, ice white nappa leather and aluminium.

Resulting structure is around 40 per cent lighter than today’s production cars of a similar size and is extremely strong The first steps towards an autonomous future were taken in August 2013 when an Mercedes S 500 INTELLIGENT DRIVE completed the 62-mile drive from Mannheim to Pforzheim without any driver input – retracing the route taken by Bertha Benz in 1888 on the first recorded journey by a car The Mercedes F 015 research vehicle marks the start of an exciting year and a busy January – with the new Mercedes C 350 Plug-in Hybrid and the Mercedes GLE Coupé both being unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show next week Mercedes S Class Driverless Car Is Here 2015 Commercial Self Driving Mercedes S Class W222. 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 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.
