These self-driving cars will kill pedestrians over drivers

Published on Oct 25, 2016

Should self-driving cars protect pedestrians? According to Mercedes...anyone but the passenger might be SOL. Does it make sense? Kim Horcher and Meredith Placko (Host, Writer) discuss!

"When Mercedes-Benz starts selling self-driving cars, it will choose to prioritize driver safety over pedestrians, a company manager has confirmed. The ethical conundrum of how A.I.-powered machines should act in life-or-death situations has received more scrutiny as driverless cars become a reality, but the car manufacturer believes that it’s safer to save the life you have greater control over."

Published on Jul 3, 2017

S 560 4MATIC: Fuel consumption combined: 8.5 l/100 km; combined CO₂ emissions: 195 g/km.*

Mercedes-Benz is entering a new dimension of motoring with its new S-Class and is raising the bar, in terms of production, for the automotive industry worldwide. For the official start-up of the luxury saloon in the Mercedes-Benz plant Sindelfingen a S Class drove independently off the final assembly line, without a driver at the wheel. The vehicle then drove automatically approximately 1.5 kilometres to the loading area within the plant. The Sindelfingen plant is piloting the possible use of the system for series production and investigating its further potential.

The future of last mile logistics with CoROS and the Speed Delivery Door

Published on Sep 24, 2018

Mercedes-Benz Vans is presenting two new solutions for the courier, express and parcel industry. See how technology safes time in this video.

Introducting CoROS:
The Cargo Recognition and Organization System, or CoROS, transforms Mercedes-Benz Vans into an intelligent cargo space via computer vision and artificial intelligence. CoROS automates labor-intensive processes throughout the last mile and tracks cargo from distribution hub to doorstep.

The new Speed Delivery Door:
The sensor-controlled, automatic two-wing pivoting door 1 can be installed upon request in place of the sliding door on the side of the load area. Initial customer testings with large national and international courier-, express- and parcel service providers have demonstrated added value in the fields of ergonomics and time savings as a result of a reduction in the number of work steps involved, as well as increased safety for driver e.g. by a better view to outside and theft protection of load.

Please note: Some features are in the state of prototype. Series production may vary. For your reference only.
