Giancarlo Perlas January 29, 2018

The Mercedes-Benz self-driving car technology was just tested in actual road conditions worldwide. Using an S-Class with autonomous driving system, the three-pointed star marque successfully concluded its Intelligent World Drive global tour. During the testing of the Mercedes-Benz self-driving car, several issues were seen such as the auto’s lack of capability to distinguish school buses, Bott’s Dots, carpool lanes, and differing speed signs. Some representatives of the American Bar Association and Smith Jones Solicitors also saw several legal problems that people in self-driving cars may encounter. Many State and Federal Laws Do Not Support It Many self-driving cars that are under development today feature driverless functions. However, it should be… Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas January 13, 2018

School buses, Bott’s Dots, carpool lanes and speed limits signs. These are four major problems that the individuals behind the Mercedes-Benz self-driving car project are trying to solve. During the last leg of Mercedes’ Intelligent World Drive global tour wherein the automaker fitted its S-Class with self-driving capabilities, they found out that the factors mentioned presented potential trouble for autonomous cars in the United States of America. 1. School Buses In the U.S., school buses are special road users. Once a school bus comes to a halt and its red sign has been activated, every vehicle within its immediate vicinity must also stop. Even incoming autos from the opposite directions must… Continue Reading »

New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Production Begins

Giancarlo Perlas July 4, 2017

Yesterday, July 3, the production of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class officially started. The car is being assembled in the Sindelfingen plant of the three-pointed star marque. Marking the start of the event was the pilot test for the automated driving feature of the range. An obsidian black metallic-painted Mercedes-Benz S560 4MATIC showcased the feature. The car drove automatically without a driver seating in its cockpit. Onboard cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors working under a powerful software that enables the S-Class to accelerate and brake autonomously aided the car in reaching its destination. The vehicle went from the final assembly line of the plant to the loading area after driving itself for… Continue Reading »

Will Autonomous Cars Kill The Joy Of Driving?

Giancarlo Perlas May 25, 2017

Self-driving, autonomous cars like the Mercedes-Benz F01 Luxury in Motion are a dream for authorities. Imagine all vehicles cruising on the roads following the rules to the letter, carefully avoiding to create traffic jams and other hold-ups as well as appreciating one thing above all: human lives. Traffic would become much less of a problem with self-driving cars, even in the most heavily populated areas. The downside, in the eyes of many, would be losing control while sitting behind the wheel. Of course, it would be far more comfortable to “drive” to work in an autonomous car while drinking coffee, reading the news, and playing Racing for Pinks at AllSlots (just to… Continue Reading »

The last time we saw a video of the Mercedes-Benz self-driving truck in action, it was during its unveiling. But its testing was only limited within its maker’s driving facility, and the only vehicles you can see along its way are its fellow three-pointed star branded autos. A few days ago, it was finally unleashed on the highway with actual traffic. Driven by Daimler Board Member Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard while being accompanied by the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg Winfried Kretschmann in the front passenger seat, the semi-autonomous Mercedes-Benz Actros was tested from the A8 road, between Denkendorf and Stuttgart airport, towards Karlsruhe, and back to its point of origin. As we have mentioned in an earlier report,… Continue Reading »
