Mercedes staged a little show

Mercedes staged a little show-demonstration of for the launch on the conveyor of the new Mercedes S-Class.

The car made the 1.5-kilometer race on the plant without a driver.

Start of production of a particular model is definitely a momentous event for the car maker and future owners of brand new cars, but for other motorists interest of this reason is highly questionable. Mercedes decided to add “flavor” to the formal ceremony. And he did it very much in the spirit of the time.

At the company’s Sindelfingen began production of the updated Mercedes S-Class, and the first production model instance (S 4MATIC 560) didn’t just pose in front of the cameras. The vehicle has traveled 1.5 kilometers from the conveyor to the loading zone completely without the help of the driver. In fact, it in the car was not even. Inside was a representative of Mercedes, responsible for the production and delivery, Marcus Schaefer, but he sat in the passenger seat.

It should be noted that during the demonstration-in was not used standard S-Class. It was fitted with the additional equipment necessary to complete this trip.

However, and without it, the model has some driving skills. So, the updated S-Class is able to regulate speed and also to adjust (which only need to enable the turn signal, specifying the direction). In the SAE grading, the car has 2 level of autonomy.
