The new S-Class have the second generation of Mercedes-Benz User Experience
Another milestone as the interface between the driver, passengers and vehicle
there are up to five screens on board, some with OLED technology
the new 3D driver display for the first time allows spatial perception of the scene
with a real 3D effect thanks to eye-tracking
A similarly impressive feature is the very large head-up display with augmented reality content
When navigating, for example, animated turn-off arrows are virtually and precisely projected onto the road lane
Using cameras in the overhead control panel and learning algorithms
MBUX Interior Assist recognises and anticipates
the wishes and intentions of the occupants
For example, if the driver looks over his shoulder towards the rear window
Interior Assist automatically opens the sunblind
Thanks to the optional rear-axle steering, the S-Class is as manoeuvrable as a compact car in the city
The steering angle at the rear axle is up to ten degrees
The turning circle is reduced by up to two metres
The active ambient lighting with around 250 LEDs is now integrated into the driving assistance systems
and is able to reinforce their warnings visually
During severe frontal collisions, the optional rear airbag in the S-Class with long wheelbase
can considerably reduce the loads acting on the head and neck area of the seat-belt-wearing occupants
in the outer rear seats
It is expected that from the second half of 2021 the S-Class will be able
to drive in conditionally automated mode with the new optional DRIVE PILOT
in situations where traffic density is high or in tailbacks, on suitable motorway sections in Germany
